Location

Gernika is a town which is located in the Basque Country. The Basque Country is a historic union of peoples of the regions of Navarre, Biscay, Gipuzkoa, Álava, Labourd, Basse-Navarre  and Soule. It has been more than eight centuries since these regions were politically unified, but we still share a common culture, language, and customs. Geographically, the Basque Country is varied, from the lush Cantabric forests of the coastal mountains to the snowy Pyrenees, the winegrowing plains of Álava and the dry dirt deserts of central Navarre. Most of the Basques live on the Spanish side, with around 2.5 million inhabitants.

 

Our town, Gernika, is located near the Cantabric coast, in the little region of Urdaibai, in Biscay.
