Baskland is of particular interest for its completely autoctonous culture, including a language of its own of quite mysterious origins. Its folklore is autotoctonous too, and you may even watch particular sports like the so-called Basqueball (pelota vasca).
Today it is one of the most industrialized regions of Spain. Despite of that there are still many areas of almost untouched nature, notably the natural parks of Valderejo, Urkiola, Urdaibai and the magical landscapes along Guernica river. It is a great region for hiking, riding, golf and all sorts of mountain sports. Another atttraction is the steep Cantabrian coast, but don't forget to bring your raincoat to protect yourself of the txirimiri, the typical very fine rain.
