The Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees provide the backdrop to the green landscape of mountains and valleys in this northern region of Spain.
Bilbao is known for its historic sights particularly the Guggenheim Museum and the remarkable Basilica of Begona and the Santiago Cathedral. San Sebastian and its Palace of Miramar and Paseo de la Concha make up the most noticeable sites in this beautiful city.
Food…… 
The Basque cuisine is said to be the very best in Spain. Baked sea bream, spider crab, baby eels and marmitako (a tuna and potato stew) are the most popular of sea food. But do not visit without trying truffles from Campezo or a Pacharan liqueur from Nevarra.
And Fiesta……
August is the month of annual fiestas in Vitoria, San Sebastian and Bilbao.
