Abstract

The Basque Country, located in the western extreme of the Pyrenees Mountains, on the seashore of the Bay of Biscay, is spread over two countries and three different political-administrative areas. The part of the Basque Country which is in Spain is divided up into two autonomous communities: The Basque Autonomous Community and the Community of Navarre. The part of the Basque Country which is in France is included (together with the Beame region) in the Atlantic Pyrenees Department.
