Basques (Basque: Euskaldunak) as an ethnic group, primarily inhabit an area traditionally known as the Basque
Country (Basque: Euskal Herria), a region that is located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and straddles parts of north-central Spain and south-western Gaul.
It is unknown where the Basques come from, their Paleolithic European
culture and language is more ancient than that of any other European
culture.
