Basque Country Discovery & Connections Sights, Sounds and Tastes of the Basque Country Vicky Ayala Richardson has taken a very long and winding road to discover her Basque roots. However, once discovered, she has been single minded in her approach to connecting with the sights, sounds and tastes which are Basque.

Also covered are descriptions of Basque culture: the importance of the family name, mythology, poetry (Bertsolari), folklore, music, folk dancing, fine arts, architecture, the Guggenheim Museum, Victor Hugo, Ernest Hemingway, and the national card game, Mus. Sports is an integral part of Basque society - from soccer, games and competitions of strength and endurance, pelota/jai alai, the running of the bulls in Pamplona, and the trekking experience on the Way of St. James.

A brief description of Basque Country weather, flora, and fauna round out the reader's Basque experience. Basque Country Discovery & Connection is a photo book and travel guide which also provides a cultural view, Basque recipes, and an eye-opening discussion of Basque history and achievements.
