Basque Country Rick Steves' Europe

Premiered October 02, 2010
Basque Country

The homeland of the proud and resilient Basque people is split between France and Spain. From our San Sebastián home base, we tour the ancient Basque capital of Gernika, the dazzling Guggenheim Modern in Bilbao, and then cross into France for more Basque Country charms. From yummy tapas bars to lightning-fast jai alai games, we'll experience Basque culture at its most vivid.
