Product Description

Review

"The hallowed blue books. You'll be happy to have them for company."

Product Description

Many believe the Basque Country to be the home of Europe's oldest race and surviving language. This is the first guide to bring together walks and tours in this region of Spain and France, which runs east from Bilbao to Biarritz and takes in famous places like Pamplona and stages on the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. The entire Basque coast is mostly very rugged, with many thriving fishing towns and villages, plus the added attraction of splendid beaches. Inland the countryside is more mountainous, with lush green countryside. Don't miss the award-winning Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Pilgrims' Route to Santiago, the San Fermines fiestas at Iruna-Pamplona, or stunning coastal resorts like Donostia-San Sebastian and Biarritz. But most of all, explore the remote picture-postcard villages and lush mountainous countryside straddling both sides of the Pyrenees - preferably on foot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for faint hearted drivers, 11 April 2009

By	Oners (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews

I only had the chance to try one of the driving routes in this book, which took us up into some very beautiful scenery in the mountains.
Unfortunately the route was along a road that was not maintained, not signposted, beside some very steep drops and single track with very few passing places.
I was fairly happy with it, but I've done off-road driving courses. My wife was having kittens.
The book states that it takes you round some of the more unexplored parts of the Basque Region, but doesn't warn you about the type of roads.
This is probably a good book, and I would still recommend it, but be cautious about the drives.

5.0 out of 5 stars More books like this, please!, 17 Jun 2008

By	big red bus "clash world rocker" - See all my reviews

This book does what it says on the tin. It tells you what you need to know. I did the walk in Urvasa with friends and family and we had agreat time. Another advantage is that you'll bump into other like-minded souls.
Make sure you have good footwear (not jesus boots) and some food.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT GUIDE TO WALKING IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY, 10 Jun 2008

By	Mark - See all my reviews

I have been on four of the walks described in the book and also followed one of the car tours. Using this book really enhanced my walking holiday in the Basque Country, which has to be one of Europe's best kept secrets. The practical details given are first class and I think the book is an essential companion for anyone planning to visit the region who wants to get out and explore the unspoilt countryside.
