The Basque country is an important destination in Spain that plays host to incongruous mixture of visitors. People are drawn to this spot because of the promising surfing spots that are truly the world's best. Most of the visitors come here to enjoy the pleasant climate, sophisticated cities and the great beaches that are present in the Basque country.

There is no doubt that this destination is really beautiful and is adorned with lush green mountains and long sandy beaches that seems to be dipping their toes in the turquoise waters of Atlantic. These green mountains act as wall and separates Spain from rest of the Europe. These mountains are not just meant for physical separation but also a difference in language, culture and genetics. The place attracts a lot of mounting bikers who are keen for a different kind of ride.

It was at some stage in the Spanish Civil War that the rumor of Franco banning the bikes inside the Basque country had prevailed. Biking in Basque region is adventurous because it is difficult for horses and even jeeps that are fast enough to get inside the hidden valleys that are far away from the civilization and can be only accessed on foot. This fact is also a serious advantage for the Basque guerrilla troops. All these reasons make mountain biking all the more adventurous.

There is an unparalleled variety of mountain biking that is possible in Basque Country because of the presence of Pyrenees and also the long ridges near the coasts. Steep technical sliding in mountains and sandy single-tracks near the sea cliffs are only 15 minute drive from each other. The region is suitable for riders of all levels and even professional racers. Indulging in local pintxos and Sidre in a San Sebastian's bar can be a nice way to relax after a hard day on the bike.

The Basque country is very well-connected with major transport modes and airports from Biarritz and Bilbao. One can also use the ferry services from Santander and Bilbao. The most suitable time to visit the Basque country depends entirely on what your interests in. Experience surfers should come to Basque country between the months of September to December. For those who like the beach can enjoy the most during the hottest weather from mid-June to August. Rest of the months receive pleasant weather and is great for people who like active sports such as mountain biking etc.
