Basque Country Tapas, a Spanish Delicacy
Upon its lush green hills that tower over the deep blue waves of the Atlantic Ocean, you will find its perfected oceanic climate and breathtaking landscape to be only the beginning of Basque Country, Spain. Basque Country, or Euskadi, is an autonomous community located in northern Spain. This community was based off the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country, a legal document that enabled Basque people to develop on Spanish territory. Due to its strong traditional currents in Spanish heritage as well as magnificent architecture, Basque Country is a hotspot for tourists everywhere.

La Concha's geography can be described as none other than gorgeous. Its ocean has been deemed safe to swim in, allowing people of any age to surf, swim, and celebrate. If you are looking to explore the entire coastline, consider learning about the many tours La Concha offers, including the San Sebastian private walking tour and the small-group, half-day tapas tour from Biarritz to San Sebastian.

Deemed one of the most beautiful spots in the country, take a little adventure around the island of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Located just off the shore of Bay of Biscay, 35 km east from Bilbao, the island is quite extensive with a church located on its highest point in dedication to John the Baptist. It has even been rumored that John the Baptist stepped foot on the island! The path leading to the island is always open, but it should be warned that it is a bit of a hike, so be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. Nevertheless, don't let this deter you from viewing the majestic island of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
