About this listen
The Basque Country—known as Euskal Herria in the native language—is a nation without a country, nestled between northern Spain and southern France. With a history stretching back over 40,000 years to before the last Ice Age, the Basque people have preserved a unique identity through their language and rich traditions. In this episode, we explore their fascinating past, vibrant culture, and what life looks like for the Basques today.
Want to dive deeper into Basque history? If you have the chance, visiting the region is the best way to experience it firsthand. But if travel isn't in the cards right now, I recommend the book The Basque History of the World by Mark Kurlansky as a good starting point.
