Santurtzi

Spain is famous for its friendly inhabitants, relaxed lifestyle, its cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous folklore and festivities, and its history as the core of the vast Spanish Empire. The most popular beaches are the ones along the Mediterranean coast and on the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, for hiking, the mountains of Sierra Nevada in the south, the Central Cordillera and the northern Pyrenees are the best places. Historically, Spain has been an important crossroads: between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between North Africa and Europe, and as Europe began colonizing the New World, between Europe and the Americas. As such, the country is blessed with a fantastic collection of historical landmarks. The Spanish are very passionate about their cuisine, based on great food and wine. Spanish food can be described as quite light with a lot of vegetables and a huge variety of meat and fish.

The Basque country is a natural paradise, made of numerous valleys and fishing ports... and is even crossed by a portion of the 'Camino' to Santiago de Compostela. Amongst its local delicacies, you will find multiple varieties of wine and sparkling wines, as well as its very typical goat cheese. If you are more of a culture lover, you will certainly not want to miss the San Sebastián film festival or a visit to the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. 

The region is unfortunately also well known for its conflicts and demands for independence. Today, the area has achieved a relative political stability, within the framework of an autonomous region. An important change, that now allows the Basque people to freely express their identity and culture.
