Northern Spain
The stripe of northern Spain running
from the border with Portugal to the
edge of the Pyrenees was once largely
unknown outside the country, outside
the region even. Rainy, not especially
warm and carpeted in green, few heard
its call above the louder voices of
Andalusia and the Mediterranean coast.
Today, the artfully named Green Spain
is better known, yet can still feel like a
region undiscovered, from the Celtic
shades of Galicia to the mysterious,
ancient culture of the Basque Country.
