Biscay, Province in Basque Country, Spain

Biscay spans 2,217 square kilometers along the Bay of Biscay, featuring rugged mountains, fast-flowing rivers, and a densely populated coastline centered around Bilbao.

The region developed from an independent medieval lordship into an industrial powerhouse during the 19th century, driven by iron ore mining and metallurgical production.

The province maintains strong Basque traditions through its language Euskara, regional sports teams, and local gastronomy centered on seafood and agricultural products.

The province connects through an extensive network of highways, railways, and Bilbao International Airport, serving as the main transportation hub of northern Spain.

Athletic Club Bilbao, the professional football team of Biscay, follows a strict policy of recruiting only players from or trained in the Basque Country.
