Basques |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| A regional population group, the Basques live in southwestern France and in two autonomous regions in north central Spain. In addition to farming, the Basques have traditionally engaged in seafaring pursuits, such as shipbuilding, whaling, fishing, and exploring. Basques sailed to the Americas with the original Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century. These two Basque men wear traditional berets as they sail. | ||||||
