País Vasco

The best and most updated information to discover the Basque Country, divided into four sections. In Excursions through the Basque Country six tours of this Community are described. All are accompanied by a map of the area in which the described itinerary is indicated, with a thick blue shaded line. Other shorter routes, but also of great interest, are included in the Surroundings section of some towns. In the section entitled The Basque Country from A to Z are the most significant towns and places in the Community. The plans of the towns and cities -especially those of the three Basque capitals- will facilitate their displacement and will help to locate the most outstanding monuments. The volume also has a section called Context, whose reading is a good way to get closer to history and art, gastronomy and other aspects, such as popular architecture and the cultural offer of the Basque Country. In the Practical information chapter you can obtain the addresses and telephone numbers of some hotels, restaurants and other tourist services for most of the places mentioned in the guide. The practical nature of this guide is reinforced by its abundant cartographic information: a 1: 400,000 road map, 6 partial maps and 8 locality maps.
