Exploring the Basque
Country, Navarra and La Rioja

These green, hilly regions have diverse attractions.
The Pyrenees in Navarra offer skiing in winter and
climbing, caving and canoeing the rest of the year.
The cliffs of the Basque Country are broken by rocky
coves, rías, and wide bays with beaches of fine yellow
sand, interspersed with fishing villages. Inland, minor
roads wind through wooded hills, valleys and gorges,
past lonely castles and isolated homesteads. In
La Rioja, to the south, they cross vineyards,
passing villages and towns clustered round C O S T A V A S C A HONDARRIBIA
