Where Should I go: Brittany or Basque Country?
Brittany
Brittany is a cultural region in the northwest of France. It has also been known as Lesser or Little Britain. It is bordered by the English Channel to the north, the Celtic Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Bay of Biscay to the south. Brittany is recognized by the Celtic League as one of the six Celtic nations, maintaining a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history. Everything about Brittany is distinctive, from its geography and its granite looks to its traditions and its language. The region stands apart from the rest of France, its long peninsula reaching out 300 kilometers into the Atlantic, however, Brittany isn't isolated, but open to the world. While it celebrates its traditions, it's also forward-looking and fun-loving. Brittany boasts a staggering 1,700 miles of coastline and is one of France's very top destinations for tourism and seaside holidays.
Basque Country
Upon its lush green hills that tower over the deep blue waves of the Atlantic Ocean, you will find its perfected oceanic climate and breathtaking landscape to be only the beginning of Basque Country, Spain. Basque Country, or Euskadi, is an autonomous community located in northern Spain. This community was based off the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country, a legal document that enabled Basque people to develop on Spanish territory. Due to its strong traditional currents in Spanish heritage as well as magnificent architecture, Basque Country is a hotspot for tourists everywhere.
