Travel tips & advice: general

What is it like to live in the Basque Country, a region that is famous for its food, culture, and language, but also notorious for its weather and politics? In this book, Alex Hallatt, a British cartoonist, shares her experience of living in Hondarribia, a small town on the border with France. She moved there with her partner to learn Spanish, but they also learned a lot about the Basque people, their history, their traditions, and their challenges. They explored the stunning landscapes, enjoyed the delicious pintxos, and loved the amazing wines. They went for a year, but stayed for two, making friends with the locals and immersing themselves in the community. They also faced some difficulties, such as finding a rental apartment, dealing with bureaucracy, and coping with the winter weather.

This book is a collection of observations and cartoons that document their adventures in the Basque Country. It is an honest, humorous, and insightful account of what it is like to live in one of the most fascinating regions of Europe. It has been updated since their return visit in 2023, after the Covid pandemic.

If you are curious about the Basque Country, or if you are planning to visit or move there, this book will give you a glimpse of its beauty, its culture, and its people.

Don't be an ordinary tourist: use A Basque Diary to take you off the beaten track and discover where the locals like to go in and around Hondarribia.
