Basque escapade

Towards the end of the Christmas holiday, we spent a few days with friends in the Basque Country. The weather was mild and we managed a visit to the Musée Basque in Bayonne, a couple of hikes in the rolling hills around Biriatou and Espelette as well as a quick boat trip into Spain. It's just as lovely a part of the world in winter as in summer. Here's a quick slideshow of some of the pictures I took.

Lovely pics. Captures the Basque country very well and reminds me of my own trip there in 2010. Thank you

Glad I've seen this slideshow at last. Great photos. My favourites are the various windows shots.

It's a great place. I've spent time walking in Cantabria, the Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees in the past and really enjoyed the culture there.

Confinement
