Basque Country Natural Environment

A gem of a city in the Basque region of Spain, definitely worth visiting for its beautiful beaches, lovely weather and interesting culture. A word of advice though is don't expect to get by in English, or even Spanish in smaller stores or with older members of the population, many of them speak only Euskara (Basque).

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. The town itself is tiny but the people are friendly, the weather is gorgeous and it's close to the beach and the ocean is wonderful. It's a fabulous place to get a feeling for real spanish culture, though it's a bit of a culture shock for Americans who aren't used to *everything* closing during the siesta hours in the afternoon. Also, many of the older citizens speak only Euskara (Basque) and maybe a little spanish so it can be difficult to communicate. Many of the younger generation however speak passable English.

A great city to visit if you want to get a real taste of spanish culture. It's a tiny town and a bit of a culture shock for Americans who aren't used to *everything* shutting down for siesta hours in the afternoon. However, the weather is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking and it's right on the ocean. A word of warning though, many of the older citizens speak only Euskara (Basque) and maybe a little spanish so communicating can be difficult. However, many of the younger generation speak passable English, so don't let the language gap take this gem of a city off your list of possible vacation spots

Beautiful place of the vasc country! Theres a little church on the top of a little montain in the middle of the sea, its really nice. To get there you have to follow a particular stair that takes you there. The weather its really good and people are friendly.
