Product Description

Product Description
The Basque country straddles both France and Spain, but its strong sense of a distinct and separate nationhood gives it a very different identity, making a stay in this region quite unique. The coastline is lovely and resorts such as St. Jean-de-Luz, San Sebastian and Biarritz are buzzing during the summer months. Dice with death and run with the bulls in Pamplona, explore the Guggenheim in Bilbao (hot new destination for the Brits), catch up with the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Then, to restore the energy levels, tuck into a plate of piperade or poulet basquaise washed down with a glass of Rioja or Irouleguy. This is a continuation of the "Vacances" series of guides, full of information and ideas for the family and active holiday-maker, with an emphasis on activities and leisure pursuits as well as sight-seeing.

2.0 out of 5 stars A helpful guide to what to do in the Basque region?, 27 Aug 2004
By J. Harvey (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book with high hopes. I read it and they soared even further. The book provided me with many ideas and suggestions for my holiday and I thought I was on to a winner.

However...

The 'maps'. Well, we decided to go for a hike. We used the 'information' in the book to plan our route. We spent two hours looking for places that seemed not to exist. The 'maps' are absolutely useless as are the directions to places within the book.

Some of the information is wrong, it states that St Jean de Luz is a surf destination, it is, if you have a car or can afford surf lessons. The information the surfing beaches is so wrong it is a joke. The beaches mentioned do not even get surf!!!!!!!!

My advice? Do not even attempt to use this book without a very good map. It will probably help you decide on a few places to visit (you hope) on your holiday but ensure that you can read place names in both Catalan and Spanish/French or you won't be going anywhere! ;0)

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, 14 April 2009
By Oners (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book as I was going to the Basque Country for the first time and wanted a book that would introduce me to the region.
It is very badly written - basically it is just a long list of everything there is to do in every town/area, in addition to some sections about various aspects of the Basque Country (wildlife/food etc) which could have been written for a primary school text book.
I bought this book as really the only option on Amazon as a guide book to the region in English, but if you can find another one, buy it instead.
