This is the most complete guidebook to both the Spanish and French Basque country and neighbouring Navarre, covering not only the principal cities but also delving deeper into the interior than other guides to find areas off the beaten track. This guide also includes information on walking and surfing not found in other guides, with detailed information and route descriptions on walking throughout the Basque Country and Navarran Pyrenees, and details of all the main surf spots. Wine regions, festivals such as the running of the bulls and San Sebastián’s Tamborrada, and wildlife and birdwatching are also covered, and so, too, are the best destinations, sights and activities for those travelling with their family.
