Basque Country Towns Story
I. For the Dawn of your time
In the event the ice ages receded and the primary human groups roamed the humid valleys on the Cantabrian Sea, the lands we now call Euskal Herria were currently a refuge. Within the caves of Santimamiñe, Ekain, Isturitz, and Aitzbitarte, anonymous hands left bison, horses, and symbols that also manage to resonate now.
