     Basque Country overview     
 If one had to define the Basque   Country, one could say that the whole world is present in this small country.   One can discover a surprising biodiversity within a 100-kilometre   radius.  The North is dominaifeexpextancy womented by the ocean and the   mountains, covered in wonderful green, while the South has a more   Mediterranean landscape, with its vineyards speckling the ever-ochre horizon   with green.   Big cities, small villages and   isolated farmhouses live in perfect harmony. The industrial centres with their   intense activity, do not destroy the natural spaces, thereby preserving some of   the most delicate ecosystems.  Beyond the dazzling natural   environment, the romantic towns or the rich artistic heritage, the Basque   country is defined by its people, above all.  We are a friendly people with a strong character, who proudly preserve our ancient culture and show the same enthusiasm for life and liberty.   See you soon in the Basque Country, Spain!
