Euskal Herria is the term that refers to a cultural region located on both sides of the Pyrenees and that frames territories of Spain and France. The space in which Basque culture manifests itself in all its dimensions. It has a population of 3 million people, of which 2.6 million live in Spain and the rest in the French Basque Country. The territory in which the Basque people settle is especially mountainous. Most of the sierras are located on the west-east axis, with the highest peaks in the Pyrenees. But also, to the south of Navarre and Alava are the Sierra de Toloño, the Sierra de Codes and the Sierra de Cantabria. Between the two mountain ranges are the Basque Mountains. If you are a great nature lover, don't hesitate to book a letting in Euskal Herria for your next holidays.

Euskal Herria is made up of seven territories: Biscay, Alava, Lower Navarre, Navarre, Guipuzcoa, Sola and Labort. In which we find six large metropolitan areas: Greater Bilbao, the San Sebastian region, the areas of Vitoria, Pamplona and Eibar-Durango, and the Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz area. Most of the Spanish cities founded in the Middle Ages are largely planned and have many similarities with the bastides of southwest France, such as Bilbao or Tolosa. It was from the 18th century onwards that a period of urban renewal began, with squares and extensions in the classicist style. However, many localities have continued to maintain their rural character, where there was no industrialisation process such as that of the large urban centres. With which, we can find very modern and strongly industrialized zones, opposite to others with rural charm surrounded by nature.

The Pyrenees on the one hand, the Cantabrian Sea on the other and a great variety of natural parks with a varied relief. One of the best ways to discover its landscapes is to go along one of the signposted hiking routes that run through the area. But you can also enjoy adventure activities such as climbing, rafting or canyoning, and enjoy its magnificent waves on both the French and Spanish coasts.

The physical environment that has conditioned the region's way of life, its historical evolution, sports, folklore, festivals, music, beliefs, dancing and the myths that make up its culture.

The San Sebastian Film Festival, which takes place in September, is one of the continent's most important events for those working in the seventh art industry. With more than fifty years of history, it is one of the most important in the world. It has seen the likes of Al Pacino, Alfred Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, Woody Allen, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Robert de Niro and Michael Douglas

The best known are the hand ball, basket-tip, lift, shovel and ratchet. If you want to attend a match, you just have to learn the two basic rules before you go to enjoy it.

The cuisine of all the territories that form part of the region enjoys great prestige throughout the world, both in Spain and France. Pinchos are, without a doubt, the most popular and appreciated specialty. But also on the coast are very common recipes for cod or cocochas. And in the interior, the famous cheeses with denomination of origin of Idiazabal, Roncal and ossau-Iraty. All this is irrigated by the excellent wines of La Rioja Alavesa.
