I just learned on reddit that apparently there's an expression in the basque language (spoken in the western Pyrénées that cover parts of France and Spain) that says "Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Hirur gezur horiek egiak balira !" which means :

"Liberté, égalité, fraternité. If only those three lies were true !"

Hier, dernière soirée riche en calories à San Sebastián !

Une balade gustative dans les Bars qui ont chacun leurs propres spécialités de "Pintxos".

Les Pintxos sont au Pays Basque ce que les Tapas sont à l’Espagne.

Dans le centre historique de San Sebastián, on les trouve à tous les coins de rue !

Gaztelugatxe is about an hour’s drive from Bilbao, on the scenic route to Gernika along the Mar Cantábrico. It’s an islet connected to the mainland by a treacherous path (the staircases were a filming location for Game of Thrones), with a hermitage dedicated to Saint John the Baptist that dates from the 10th century (at least). Even the view is worth a look—and just getting to the lookout is a hike!

Flysch in the Basque coast [x].

Those lines of rock are called flysch, but how did we end up with this strange formation? We need to imagine the cliffs once were very much more inside the ocean than now. Tides and waves eroded it, making the first layer of the cliff rock weak until it eventually collapsed, leaving just its basis behind: we have our first line of the flysch.

For thousands of years, the ocean has been gaining ground to the land, that is now just a beautiful souvenir of rock layers running along the cliffs that can be seen on a low tide.
