A Very special Place

From the Basque fishers' villages to the isolated communities of farmers, the spread orchards and the Pyrenees, the north east of Spain is one of the most diverse regions in Spain. You can go sky diving, hike, taste wines, visit monasteries or admire the contemporary art in Bilbao. The colossal barrier that separates Spain from France is bordered by four autonomous regions: Euskadi, Navarra, Aragon and Catalonia. Traditionally, this region hasn't been the most popular among tourists, but its cities are now beginning to become more and more intelligent for tourists from all nearby the world.
