//**We are located in Spain .Here there are seventeen autonomous regions or “autonomias” with their own governments, budgets and cultural ministries.The differences among them are really evident in language , culture , attitudes and politics and in physical geography and climate too.

We come from the North of Spain .Exactly from The Basque Country .It´s an autonomous region with a special language “basque” and different culture from the other ones.

In The Basque Country there are three provinces: Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Araba.

We are in Bizkaia in a town called Loiu. Our school is there ,in a natural enviroment in the sorroundings of Bilbao, the capital of Bizkaia.**// ||
