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
- preferably on foot.

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 & coax forth its inherent depth of flavour. It`s the marriage of simplicity & refinement, & the joy of cooking for family & friends.

Basrayatha - The Story Of A City

”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. Just as a city`s inhabitants differ from outsiders through their knowledge of its streets and stories, so Khudayyir distinguishes between the real city of Basra and the imagined city he created through stories, experiences, and folklore. By turns a memoir, a travelog, a love letter, and a meditation, ”Basrayatha” summons up a city long gone, yet which lives on in the memories and imaginations of its people. In the tradition of Calvino and Borges, Khudayyir`s mesmerizing work itself illuminates and enriches the story of this magnificent city.
