Hey there,
So I will be arriving in Spain Sept. 17th and plan on staying there for 3-4 days. We arrive in Madrid. I have tried to research specific places to go and see in northern Spain (maybe along the coast line or some unique cities) But all I really find are things about Southern Spain (we will be visiting there later on in our trip) So If you have any awesome Ideas or websites where I can easily get help with this issue let me know!

Actually, by coincidence, I was just talking with my friend, Ana who used to live in Spain...

She went here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_Countr...mous_community)

She says:

I have only been to Euzakdi in the Basque Country. It's a super special place, it has a different style and vibe, and of course, you also perceive the strong cultural, social, and economic differences.

their language is one of the most ancient ones in Europe, euskera, and also, nobody really knows what other languages that one is related to

hey also come from the ancient Celtic tribes, that is why they are characteristically different looking that the rest of Spain, and they share a border with Northern France, so, there are many people who qualify themselves as French-Basque
