Gipuzkoa, Historical Basque province in northern Spain.

The mountainous terrain of Gipuzkoa stretches across 1,980 square kilometers between the Cantabrian Sea and the borders of Navarre, France, and Biscay.

The province merged with the Kingdom of Castile in 1200, maintaining its administrative independence through a system of local laws called fueros.

The Basque language Euskera remains strong in Gipuzkoa, with more than half of the population actively speaking this ancient pre-Indo-European language.

The AP-8 motorway connects the main coastal cities of Gipuzkoa, while the N-1 highway provides access to inland municipalities and Madrid.

The province contains 66 kilometers of Atlantic coastline with natural harbors that supported centuries of maritime trade and whaling expeditions.
