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.

The woman at the tourist information office was emphatic that this was the most important place to visit in Guernica--and after I took the short self-guided tour, I better understood why. Beautiful and lovingly preserved space, and the stained glass ceiling in the adjacent room is stunning. You will understand better why Guernica is considered the spiritual heart of the Basque Region after you stop here.
