The Basque Country is one of the Autonomous Communities belonging to the Spanish State and it is located alongside the French boarder, at the corner of the Atlantic Arc of the European Union.
The Basque people have left their mark on history with immortal figures such as Juan Sebastián Elcano, the first seafarer to sail around the world; Urdaneta and Legazpi, pioneers in opening up the Pacific Route between Mexico and the Philippines; Juan de Garay, who founded the city of Buenos Aires; Ignacio de Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus or Francisco de Vitoria, the father of International Law.
In line with these great figures, other Basques, many of them humble fishermen, left the remains of their homes or their place names in Newfoundland or Canada or they travelled far to discover distant fishing grounds in Greenland, Iceland or Spitzberg.
The Basques have always become integrated into the different American lands, providing their effort and knowledge and committing themselves to the daily work of developing their adoptive country.
This open-minded spirit has allowed Basques to create industries and businesses of renowned prestige which, together with a strategic geographic location and a modern network of roads, railways, ports and airports, have enabled a permanent socio-economic development and show the Basque Country as a country with a future, offering the cooperation of its companies to Institutions in the common goal of developing our peoples.
