About the Basque Country

The Basque Country is perhaps best known for its food culture and its tapas / pintxos. But the province is also Spain's most prosperous in many ways. And has an incredibly fascinating culture. No one has probably missed how patriotic the Basques are, and this with success. Something that the two football clubs Sociedad and Athletic testify to. In order to play there, it is not only required that you are good at football. You must also be born in the Basque Country with Basque parents. The Basque Country and the Basques have many times been on the verge of extinction but always manage to survive and maintain their culture. And their own and unique language may be one of the world's oldest.

Bla.så var dom mycket duktiga båtbyggare båda två. Och det sägs att Vikingarna hjälpte Baskerna mot bla.Morerna. Vikingarna ska även ha fattat tycke för Baskernas traditioner och “sporter” på den tiden. Som att lyfta en stor sten rakt upp, hugga ner ett träd på kortast tid,mm.
