Tourist Attractions in Basque Country

At the higher altitudes there are forests of oak, beech and chestnut or, where these have been destroyed, a dense growth of bracken or plantations of pines and eucalyptus. The hills and valleys are covered with meadows, fields of maize and groves of walnuts and fruit-trees. The northern slopes of the Cantabrina Mountains are a pleasant region, with a climate which is agreeable even in summer and a landscape of lush green fields and picturesque Basque farms. The coast is particularly attractive, with cliffs frequently rising to over 300m/100ft and little fishing towns, many of which have developed into popular seaside resorts.

Basque Country, in northern Spain, is home to a number of famous cities, including San Sebastian, Bilbao, and Pamplona.
