The Basque country is a wonderful area for mountain walking, with summits and corresponding views accessible to the ordinary walker, unlike in the high Pyrenees. It is a great area to walk in all year round. The Basque country comprises, 7 provinces, 4 in Spain and 3 in France. The walks in this book are in the northern part of this mountainous region, and many are near or on the international frontier. Most walks are in the mountains though there are a few coastal walks. They tend to be between 3 and 5 hours long and have less than 1000m of ascent. The area is rich in pre-history and many of the walks visit sites of interest. It is a good place to observe birds of prey.

25 walks are described.
