Read reviews from Basque, Spain
Basque Country (Basque Euskadi, Spanish País Vasco) is an autonomous community with the status of historic region within Spain, the capital of which is Vitoria (Basque Gasteiz). It is part of the larger Basque native lands, which are also called the “Basque Country.”
Before the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and its system of autonomous communities, these three provinces were known in Spanish as the Provincias Vascongadas, an antiquated term still used by many. The autonomous communities political structure is defined the Gernika Statute, which was approved in a controversial, and substantially boycotted, referendum on October 25, 1979. The governing Basque Nationalist Party proposes to alter this statute through the Ibarretxe Plan.
The autonomous community has its own police force (the Ertzaintza), education and health systems, and a Basque radio/TV station.
