In the northwest of Spain, there is a network of GR hiking trails and Camino’s, of which the Camino del Norte stands out as the most popular. Every year, thousands of pilgrims traverse along the rugged Basque coast toward Santiago de Compostela. However, slightly next to the Camino, you’ll find the GR121 Talalaia Ibilbidea that runs along the coast, over the green hillside, and into coastal towns with some of the best pintxos and Basque wine.
Basque Country, stretching across northern Spain and southwestern France, is well known for its distinct culture and identity. The Basques, proud people with a history of striving for independence, speak Euskara, an ancient language. The region’s landscape features green hills and the Bay of Biscay and has a big gastronomic tradition that is renowned worldwide, attracting food enthusiasts with its dishes, including octopus, cod, meat stews, and the famed pintxos.
