A Very Special Place

From the Basque fishers’ villages to the isolated communities of farmers, the spread orchards and the Pyrenees, the north east of Spain is one of the most diverse regions in Spain. You can go sky diving, hike, taste wines, visit monasteries or admire the contemporary art in Bilbao. The mountainous barrier that separates Spain from France is bordered by four autonomous regions: Euskadi, Navarra, Aragon and Catalonia. Traditionally, this region hasn’t been the most popular among tourists, but its cities are now starting to become more and more attractive for tourists from all around the world.

Euskadi and Navarra

These two autonomous regions have always been connected by a common language, euskera, which is still alive in some of the dialects spoken by the locals. The most interesting cities here are Euskadi, Bilbo (Bilbao), Donostia, and Iruna. Bilbao is very famous for the Guggenheim Museum. Since its opening, Bilbao has lived a cultural rebirth which brought the increase in the number of tourists. Bilbao is a very beautiful city; if you are in Bilbao, you musn’t miss the casco viejo (the old city, the Vasco Museum, the Plaza Nueva and the Arriaga Theatre. The Guggenheim Museum must definitely be among your stops. The building is absolutely spectacular; the tourists are impressed by the steel and titanium walls which are curved, creating a special and unique view.
