 The beachfront of San Sebastian (or Donostia in the basque language) |
 I came to the Basque country, straddling the border of France and Spain, with a great idea. I’d go to the roughest bars in Bilbao, find some ETA terrorists, and get a great story. But somehow, it didn’t quite work out that way. So captivating are the charms of Euskadi (the Basque name for this region) that I found myself seeking out some subtler takes on the unique peoples and magnificent landscapes of these parts. Independent or not, Basqueland is a “country” whose time has well and truly come.
