Basque Country, Cultural region in northern Spain and southwestern France.
The Basque Country extends from the western Pyrenees to the Bay of Biscay, encompassing three Spanish provinces and the French Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.
Archaeological findings indicate continuous human settlement since Paleolithic times, with evidence of early inhabitants maintaining distinct cultural practices through Roman occupation.
The Basque language, Euskara, remains the last non-Indo-European language in Western Europe, with dedicated language schools promoting its preservation across generations.
The region maintains separate administrative systems in Spain and France, with the Spanish portion divided into the Autonomous Community and Navarre.
Traditional rural sports include stone lifting, wood chopping competitions, and rowing races that originated from daily work activities of farmers and fishermen.
