Firts of all we must say the Basque Country is a nation with a strong personality. Basque culture is present in many aspects:

- In the language, one of the oldest languages in Europe, rich in peculiar sonorities

- In the architecture, with timbered picturesque houses

- In the basque traditional sports, inspired on old rural customs

- In the Basque pelota. The most known variation of this sport is the Jai-Alai

- In gastronomy

- In traditional basque songs, which have lead to the international recognition of basque choral groups

- And last but not least, in the dance, essential aspect and ancestral tradition of Basque people.
