Basque Country (Pais Vasco) is a small province in Northern Spain bordering the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department of France. Included within its boundary are the cities of Bilbao in the west, San Sebastian in the east and Gasteiz (Vitoria) in the south. The Basque Country is richly diverse. Golden sands line parts of its beautiful coastline, while pockets of industry melt away into the wilderness of lush green valleys and beautiful mountainscapes. In short, the Basque Country has something for everyone, including a varied choice of Spanish property for sale.
The Basque Country was set up as an autonomous region within Spain in 1979. Its culture, dialect, traditions and folklore are what define the region, giving it an almost separate identity from all other regions in Spain. The whole area is quite densely populated for Northern Spain, and the three main cities in the province are thriving commercial centres.
For those in search of Spanish property, the Basque Country offers many opportunities. Firstly, the coastal cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian are important business and tourist centres for the region. This creates a need for rental accommodation from which Basque Country property owners can profit. San Sebastian especially has some wonderful beaches and is less than an hour away from the main French resort of Biarritz.
More rural areas in Pais Vasco are scattered with wealthy towns and villages in which a whole range of Basque Country property can be found - from the exclusive villa in Spain to derelict properties in need of renovation work.
