The Basque Country: A Colourful Region of France for a Walking Tour
The Basque Country is a region in southwestern France that borders Spain. It is known for its colorful culture, history, charm, and, of course, food!
One of the best places to experience the Basque Country is the village of Espelette. Espelette is a small village located in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is known for its red peppers, which are grown in abundance in the area. The peppers are used in many traditional Basque dishes, such as piperade, a delicious dish made with peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
In addition to its food, Espelette is also home to a number of historical and cultural attractions. The village is home to a 17th-century church, a 16th-century town hall, and a number of traditional Basque houses. Espelette is also a popular destination for hiking and walking tours.
