The travel website Besides the Obvious is written by a couple who have decided to take a stroll through our country this very special year of lockdowns and pandemics.

And from this trip have come three articles, so far.  The first is a trip through the Northern Basque Country, with stops at six different towns.  The second takes readers on a journey along the Basque Coast, from Lekeitio to Hendaye.  And the third one treats us to two days in San Sebastian.

The three articles are all interesting, with ideas and information to bring the reader closer to the country.  But it’s not just about what’s “touristic”; it also helps us understand that when traveling here, you’re in a place with unique and individual historical and cultural characteristics.

We hope they’ll come back soon and continue writing about the Land of the Basques, from southern Navarre to Bayonne, from the Encartaciones to Soule.  We’ll be thrilled to follow their articles.
