Tourism Pays Basque
The Pays Basque is a territory that extends from one end to the other of the Pyrenees occidentales on several areas. Three provinces share the Côte Basque : the Labourd French side and Guipuzcoa and the Biscaye Spanish side. The area is marked by the maritime influence, Bilbao and Bayonne are the two cities more important. The Côte Basque begins south of the Adour with beaches of fine sand to Anglet to the mountain dominates the rest of the Pays Basque with heights exceeding 400 m over half the country. The Pyrenees are in the center of the Pays Basque and cut it in half, forming a border between France and Spain.
