Basque region of Spain  -  Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin (1604 words)
The Basque Country is bounded by the autonomous regions of Navarra to the east, Cantabria to the west, and La Rioja and Castile-León to the south; and by the Bay of Biscay and France to the north.
The Basque capital reveals a medieval quarter where it is possible to find the most charming little corners, gardens, and tree-lined boulevards, which make the capital of Alava a remarkable green space that does not disturb the careful urban layout, where medieval streets harmoniously intermingle with Renaissance palaces, and Neoclassical churches.
Erected in the vicinity of Eguilaz, the Dolmen of Aizkomendi is one of the megalithic compounds of the Basque Country.
Basque Country (autonomous community) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (904 words)
Basque Country (Basque Euskadi, Spanish País Vasco) is an autonomous community with the status of historical region within Spain, the capital of which is Vitoria-Gasteiz (Vitoria is the Spanish name, Gasteiz the Basque name).
The seats of the Basque Parliament and Government are in Vitoria-Gasteiz, but the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country provides for their transference to Pamplona if Navarre ever decides to join the Basque Autonomous Community.
Basque and Spanish are co-official in all territories of the Community, though in many instances, especially those that depend on the central Spanish Government, like tribunals, it is difficult to carry on bureaucracy or judicial processes in any language other than Spanish.
