Basque Country Unmissables

The Basque Country showcases a transition from medieval history to cutting-edge design. Bilbao serves as an architectural hub with Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum and Santiago Calatrava’s Zubizuri bridge, complemented by contemporary sculptures by Jeff Koons and Louise Bourgeois. Beyond the city, the region features the 13th-century defensive Torre Monreal in Tudela, the Neo-Gothic Butroe Castle, and the 222-meter Salto del Nervión, the tallest waterfall in the Iberian Peninsula.
