10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Province of Vizcaya That You Shouldn't Miss
Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia; Spanish: Vizcaya) is a province of Spain located just south of the Bay of Biscay. The name also refers to a historical territory of the Basque Country, heir of the ancient Lordship of Biscay. Its capital city is Bilbao. It is one of the most prosperous and important provinces of Spain as a result of the massive industrialization in the last years of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Since the deep deindustrialization of the 1970s, the economy has come to rely more on the services sector.

A visit to Guernica should include the General Assembly buildings and grounds. It is here that the Guernica Oak, symbol of Basque freedom, stands. What you see now is a lovely tree that was planted in 2015, the fifth iteration of the traditional 'Guernikako Arbola'. You have to walk a little further and to find the proud remains of the last oak, now a thick trunk enclosed in a tiny, classical, Greek style temple. The original Guernica tree shaded the assemblies of the local people beginning in the 1400's and the link between it and the freedom of the people is strong. We were moved by the sight, having looked at the beautiful General Assembly building and Picasso's painting (replica) of 'Guernica' beforehand.
