Details
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. With 26 maps, expert author Murray Stewart divides the region into eight areas, each covered in detail, from Bilbao, San Sebastian and Pamplona to Biarritz, St-Jean-Pied-de-Port and the French Basque Pyrenees. Details of walking routes and surfing not found in other guides are included, along with a step-by-step guide to Los Sanfermines ‚running of the bulls‘ festival in Pamplona, San Sebastian’s noisy ‚Tamborrada‘, plus coverage of all the region’s other main festivals. Also included is detailed information on the Basque and Navarran wine regions, birdwatching and wildlife (including a guide to the top sites), Basque food, history and culture, and exploiring the region with your family. All the practical information you could need is covered, plus details of security and safety.
