One of my goals with being abroad this year in Spain is to visit more parts of the country. When I lived here as a student I was able to travel a bit around Spain and I got to learn more about the various regions and cultural differences (accents, food, traditions, etc.). Amongst those regions I was able to visit: (1) Galicia, (2) Cataluña, (3) Castilla y León, (4) Madrid, (5) Andalucía, (6) Castilla la Mancha, (7) Islas Baleares, and (8) Islas Canarias. This leaves me with nine other regions I still need to visit.
So I took it upon myself to finally visit the Basque Country (País Vasco) for a long weekend in October, since my original plan to visit this region three years ago (literally March 2020) was thwarted by covid.
So in this post, I will talk a bit about what I was able to see and discover in the north of Spain.
