This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's award-winning guide
to the Basque Country and Navarre remains the most comprehensive
and in-depth guide available to this multi-lingual, multi-cultural
borderland encompassing parts of southern France and northern
Spain. This fully revised second edition includes all the elements
required for an enjoyable holiday and also the unique aspects of
Basque culture and traditions which make this such a fascinating
part of the world. Bradt's The Basque Country and Navarre seeks to
give a real insight into what is a strong regional identity,
uncovering the peculiarities which imbue the area with its aura of
intrigue and taking you way beyond the delightful, well-known
cities and into the heart of the beautiful Basque countryside. When
it comes to food, discover not just what to eat, but also how to
eat it, for many Basque eating rituals apply! In this, the most
complete guidebook to the Spanish and French Basque Country and
Navarre, Murray Stewart covers the principal cities - rejuvenated
Bilbao with its famous Guggenheim Museum, beautiful San Sebastian,
verdant Vitoria-Gasteiz and lively Pamplona - and also delves
deeper into the region's interior, capturing the quirkiness that
makes it so special. With 36 maps, 16 walks, advice on where to
cycle, horseride and surf, he guides travellers through an area
whose profile is firmly 'on the up.' Find the best pintxos (Basque
tapas) and txakoli wine, the finest chuleton (beef chop) and the
freshest fish. From elegant Biarritz, via the French Basque
Pyrenees, to the Navarran 'badlands' of Bardenas Reales, travel to
fascinating, less-visited places. Here are the best festivals,
including Pamplona's famous, bull-running San Fermin. Learn how the
handing-over of three cows has kept the peace for centuries, or
where you can see the annual 'Benediction of the Red Pepper'. Join
the walkers on the Caminos de Santiago, the pilgrim routes which
still sustain the local economy, 1,000 years after they began. Find
information on the unique Basque and Navarran wines, top
birdwatching sites, history, music, sports and culture - and when
to visit. Bradt's The Basque Country and Navarre is the ideal
companion.
