Basque country is a mountainous region, dominated by several peaks. The coast is lush in vegetation. The coastline is particularly impressive where the cliffs reach 300 m in height. The ancient fishing villages have been developed to become good summer holiday resorts. The beaches are for the most part sandy, but the climate is less mild than on the Mediterranean coast. The Navarra region, with its capital, Pamplona, is situated east of Basque country, in the western Pyrenees.
