This new, fully updated, third edition of The Basque Country and Navarre, the award-winning guide by Bradt, remains the most in-depth guide to a multilingual, multicultural region on the border of Spain and France, located in the Pyrenees, the mountains that separate the two countries.
The Bradt guide offers real insights into a deep regional identity, revealing the nuances that give the area its charm and guiding you beyond the pleasant, well-known cities, into the heart of beautiful Basque countryside.
Deep Basque traditions, unique cuisine, world-class wine, unusual sports, a unique language, bold art, and architecture come together to showcase a land that continues to mystify and reveal itself the more you visit. Isolated valleys and wild mountains, rugged coastlines, and the remnants of an industry that has passed offer a strange combination that honors a tumultuous past, a vibrant present, and a continuous renewal promising an exciting future for the Basques.
The neighboring Navarre, large and sparsely populated, offers natural attractions ranging from the high Pyrenees to barren semi-deserts. The troubled history of this former kingdom is marked by deserted castles on hills, but only during the frenzied days of the crazy bull-running festival of San Fermín in Pamplona does it noisily emerge onto the world stage, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors to the favorite city of Ernest Hemingway.
With advice on where to walk, bike, ride, surf, and birdwatch, author Murray Stewart guides travelers through this increasingly popular region. Discover the best pintxos (tapas) and txakoli wine, the most delicious chuletón (steak), and the freshest fish.
From the elegant Biarritz, through the French Basque Pyrenees, to the 'bad' lands of Navarre, Bardenas Reales, travel to exciting, less-visited places that host impressive local festivals.
New additions to this edition include a variety of elegant hotels in San Sebastián, transport improvements, new restaurants offering gastronomic specialties, a significant renovation of the Bellas Artes museum in Bilbao, and constantly evolving wine tourism opportunities. Whether you're a hiker, surfer, foodie, cyclist, spiritual seeker, or golfer, let The Basque Country and Navarre by Bradt help you enjoy an exciting and rewarding getaway.
