This was probably my favorite spot because of the beauty and what little history I know of the Basque Country. The Basque region covers a small area of Northeastern Spain and a small area in the Northwestern part of France. The native language spoken here is Basque which is an isolated language nothing like anything around them. From what I learned there is no other language like it. The words are comprised of a lot of consonants and very few vowels...so crazy! Of course these people speak their country's language as well; French and Spanish.
Here in this region we visited two Basque towns; San Sabastian, Spain and Biarritz, France. Due to limited time we spent most of our energies in San Sabastian. I loved this town! It was the perfect size for me and the culture was screaming FUN! I loved it! After checking into our hotel we were guided to the old part of town to find a bunch of Tapas bars open. The tradition here is to grab a tapa and a soothing beverage and then head to another tapas bar and do the same thing...The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very uplifting. The people here were very happy! I seriously could live here and maybe I would even consider pushing Seneca's bedtime back a few hours since dinner here in Spain starts at 8:30pm. :)

After our brief stay here we drove up the coast of Spain towards Biarritz, France. Next time we'd love to stay in both of these two places longer!
