Basque Autonomous Community

The Basque Autonomous Community is a region in northern Spain with a distinct cultural identity and a high degree of self-governance. It comprises three provinces—Álava, Biscay, and Gipuzkoa—and has its own parliament, laws, and language (Basque). The region is known for its unique traditions, vibrant industries, and strong emphasis on preserving its language and culture. While politically part of Spain, it enjoys significant autonomous powers, especially in areas like education, taxes, and healthcare. The Basque Community plays a key role in Spain’s economic and cultural landscape, balancing regional identity with national integration.
