The Seven Provinces

Euskal Herria, known around the world as the Basque Country is divided in seven historic provinces, four of them located south of the Pyrenees and four of them located to the north of this mountain range.

 

The northern portion of the Basque Country is known as Iparralde and is comprised of three provinces, they are called Lapurdi, Behe Nafarroa and Zuberoa.  

 

The southern portion is called Hegoalde and four provinces are included, they are: Nafarroa, Bizkaia, Araba and Gipuzkoa. In the next few days I will be providing information about these provinces called "herrialdes".
