There is an article on the Venezuelan website Analitica.com that requires neither explanation nor comment. It’s enough to know who the website’s owner is. The article contains little text and many images of a city with one of the best bays (along with Rio de Janeiro) in the world.

We would like to remember the relationship that has united the Basques and Venezuelans since colonial times. A relationship that became especially relevant thanks to the Royal Guipuzcoan Company of Caracas, a company maintained through the heroes (of Basque origin) of the American independence and through the people migrating from this side of the Atlantic Ocean to Venezuela.

Emigration was quite important throughout the twentieth century and even more intense and special after Franco’s victory, when thousands of Basques took refuge in Venezuela to flee the dictatorship’s repression, barbarism and misery. The Basques have a lot of thanks to give to this great country of Venezuela, to which they have also proudly contributed.
