Why visit the Basque Country region
The Basque Country is one of those places that surprises you with how different it feels from the rest of Spain—proudly independent, rich in culture, and full of character. It’s where pintxos culture is at its best, where you can hop from bar to bar trying small bites that are anything but simple. The mix of mountains, rugged coastline, and lush green hills gives it a raw, natural beauty, and cities like San Sebastián and Bilbao blend old-world charm with striking modern design. Whether you’re into food, nature, or offbeat urban vibes, the Basque Country feels like its own little world worth exploring.
