The Basque Country (Basque: Euskadi, Spanish: País Vasco) is an Autonomous Community of northern Spain.
The Basque Country borders with the Cantabrian and Burgos provinces to the west, the Bay of Biscay to the north, France and Navarre to the east and La Rioja (the Ebro River) to the south. The territory has three distinct areas, that are defined by the two parallel ranges of the Basque Mountains. The main range of mountains forms the water divide of the Atlantic and Mediterranean basins. The highest point of the range is in the Aitzkorri massif (1551 m).
Spanish and Basque are co-official in all territories of the Community.
Basque cuisine is an important part of Basque culture. According to the Michelin guide, the third best restaurant of the world is located in San Sebastian. The most popular dishes there are the seafood, fish (for example Marmitako) and the "Pintxos". It's popular to go to the Basque Country for the food, especially the "pintxos". Many people do something that's called "ir de pintxos", Basque version of pub crawl.
