Fair and tall describes the appearance of the Basque people.

Specifically, the Basque people are known for fairness of skin and lightness of eyes and hair. They also are known for their stature. Their appearance therefore makes them stand out in regard to Spaniards from southern Spain. Their height tends to differentiate them from northern Spaniards who otherwise may share in fair skins and light eyes and hair.
