Aventura extrema en the Basque Country: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en the Basque Country con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
The Basque Country, or Euskadi, is a land of powerful contrasts and an unmistakable identity. It is a region that overlooks the Cantabrian Sea with a rugged and wild coastline, dotted with charming fishing villages and beaches that are paradise for surfers. Towards the interior, the intense green of its valleys and mountains hides traditional farmhouses ('baserris') and a deeply rooted culture. Its cities are an example of transformation and avant-garde: Bilbao has gone from being an industrial engine to a world reference for art with the Guggenheim Museum, while San Sebastián (Donostia) is the undisputed capital of haute cuisine, a gastronomic Eden where 'pintxos' are a way of life. Visiting Euskadi is discovering an ancient culture, a language (Basque) that is a linguistic treasure and a passion for food that can be felt in every bar and restaurant.

Aviso de Viaje
The weather in the Basque Country is very variable and can change quickly. It is advisable to always carry an umbrella or a raincoat, even in summer ('sirimiri' is a fine, constant rain). Parking in the center of San Sebastián and Bilbao can be very complicated and expensive; It is preferable to use public transportation. To eat pintxos, the usual thing is to order at the bar and eat standing up, moving from one bar to another.
