Information about Basque Provinces

Basque Provinces lie on the border with France and consists of three provinces. Bilbao, capital of Vizcaya prov., is the largest Basque city and one of the chief industrial centres of Spain. Other cities include San Sebastian, capital of Guipuzcoa prov.; Vitoria, capital of Alava prov.; and historic Guernica. Although Basque was recognized as the official language of the region in 1978, most Basques speak French or Spanish.

With a mild pleasant climate and abundant rainfall this region is characterised by lush green valleys and orchards. Numerous fishing villages are dotted along the Basque coast with stunning cliffs rising above them. The most popular is the picturesque city of San Sebastian, which is a fishing village, turned into holiday resort. There is an almost constant round of festivals with the best known being Tamborada, Semana Santa and Semana Grande. West of San Sebastian the coast offers some of the best surfing in Europe, where some of international surfing competition take place.

In the densely populated coastal provinces of Vizcaya and Guipuzcoa the chief occupations are mining of iron, lead, copper, and zinc and metalworking, shipbuilding, and fishing. Alava is primarily agricultural; corn and sugar beets are grown, and wine and apple cider are made. Tourism is also important.Traditional Basque farming culture has given way to industrial development and emigration to France and the Americas. Shortly after the outbreak of civil war in 1936 the Spanish government granted the three provinces autonomy. In 1937,  the new Franco regime abolished Basque autonomy. Basque nationalism remained strong, however, and the region achieved autonomy again in 1980 when it elected its first parliament.
