The Basque Country, Where A Unique Language, Cuisine And Radical Separatist Elements Have Long Resisted
The Basque country, where a unique language, cuisine and radical separatist elements have long resisted Spanish assimilation. In February the gray-blue waves of La Concha Beach in Donostia-San Sebastian were bitterly cold. After dark in Bilbao, relatives of incarcerated members of the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) terrorist group gently marched for the transfer of their loved ones to prisons closer to home. Invented here was the brilliant gilda, a pintxo (appetizer) constructed of pickled peppers, olives and anchovies.
