Many believe the Basque Country to be the home of Europe's oldest race & surviving language. This is the first guide to bring together walks & tours in this region of Spain & France, which runs east from Bilbao to Biarritz & takes in famous places like Pamplona & stages on the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. The entire Basque coast is mostly very rugged, with many thriving fishing towns & villages, plus the added attraction of splendid beaches. Inland the countryside is more mountainous, with lush green countryside. Don't miss the award-winning Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Pilgrims' Route to Santiago, the San Fermines fiestas at Iruna-Pamplona, or stunning coastal resorts like Donostia-San Sebastian & Biarritz. But most of all, explore the remote picture-postcard villages & lush mountainous countryside straddling both sides of the Pyrenees

” Basrayatha” is a literary tribute by author Muhammad Khudayyir to the city of his birth, Basra, on the Shatt al-Arab waterway in southern Iraq.

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Spain, Basque Country not only boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than any other region in the world, but its unique confluence of mountain and sea, values and tradition, informs every bite of its soulful cuisine, from pintxos to accompany a glass of wine to the elbows-on-the-table meals served in its legendary eating clubs.Yet Basque Country is more than a little inaccessible - shielded by a unique language and a distinct culture, it`s an enigma to most outsiders. Until now. Marti Buckley, an American chef, journalist, and passionate Basque transplant, unlocks the mysteries of this culinary world by bringing together its intensely ingredient-driven recipes with stories of Basque customs and the Basque kitchen, and vivid
photographs of both food and place. And surprise: this is food we both want to eat and can easily make. It`s not about exotic ingredients or flashy techniques. It`s about mind-set - how to start with that just-right fish or cut of meat or peak-of-ripeness tomato and coax forth its inherent depth of flavour. It`s the marriage of simplicity and refinement, and the joy of cooking for family and friends.
