About Basque Country With a large identity, the Basque Country has a privileged geographic location in the south of Europe, in the green north of Spain, next to France. Its small dimension, where everything is nearby, makes it a perfect tourist destination year round. The Basque Country keeps its language alive: Basque is the oldest language in Europe and the main feature of its own and unique culture, characterized by love for its land and traditions. The three Basque regional capitals - Bilbao, Donostia-SanSebastian and Victoria-Gasteiz - are good examples of how this identity is expressed. Eating and drinking in any corner of the Basque Country is a luxury that is affordable for all. Basque gastronomy, a "signature cuisine" with many expert chefs, offers an extraordinary and inimitable way of cooking and eating. Authentic and local produce makes cooking an art-form in the Basque Country. Knowing the Basque Country is knowing the Basque people. It is a way of life, a character and an understanding that combines history and modernity, audacity and nobleness, fun and hard work. Basque people, with a welcoming and open character, freely and wholeheartedly welcome visitors. In the Basque Country everything becomes one's own, exclusive and unique.
