Hear about travel to the Basque Country in France and Spain as the Amateur Traveler talks to Craig Anderson about his recent trip to the home of the Basque.
Why should someone go to the Basque Country?
“It’s a very unique region so it’s got some unique architecture, it’s got unique history. The culture is unique and fairly compact, so you can get around and explore the whole thing in a week. There’s obviously other things that you can go see if you wanted to spend a little more time.”
Craig’s 7-day Basque Country itinerary (France & Spain) includes a mix of historic towns, stunning coastal landscapes, cultural experiences, and exceptional food and wine. Here’s the breakdown:
Day 1: Bayonne (France)
- Arrive in Bayonne, the cultural and historical heart of the French Basque Country.
- Explore the Old Town, bridges, plazas, and Bayonne Cathedral.
- Visit the Musée Basque et de l’histoire de Bayonne to learn about Basque culture.
- Sample Bayonne chocolate and Bayonne ham, along with local cheeses and cherry tarts.
- Walk along the city’s ramparts.
