The Basques live in the mountains of northern Spain and southwestern France.
They live in the Pyrenees Mountains which is on the border of Spain and France.
Spain and France.
French Basques live in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwestern France.
The Spanish live in Spain.
The Basque area of France ("Pays Basque") is in the South-West of the country. The Basque area extends on both sides of the French-Spanish border, the larger part is in Spain.
The current goal of the Basques is mostly complete autonomy from Spain (independence, since they are already quite autonomous).
France and Spain are the countries from which the Basque people wanted their freedom.Specifically, the Basque live predominantly in seven provinces which straddle both sides of southwest France's border with northwest Spain. They may share such economic activities as farming, fishing, small-scale business, and tourism with their French and Spanish neighbors. But they speak a language which is not at all related to French and Spanish. They therefore worry about losing their cultural and linguistic identities in two countries with little else in common other than geography and religion.
Northern Spain and southern France are where the Basque people live and Basque, French and Spanish are their spoken languages.Specifically, three Basque-speaking provinces are found on the northwest side of the France-Spain border. Three Basque-speaking provinces and the multilingual province of Navarre are found on that border's southwest side. Basque can be found spoken throughout all seven provinces whereas French will be found to the northwest and Spanish to the southwest.
Most Catalans in Spain (whether separatist or not) live in the Eastern regions called "Catalonia". Catalans an not any where near as militant about separating from Spain as are the Basques.
The answer is the Basques.
Basque Separatists want Navarra to be part of Basque land, as well as part of S France to create a homeland for 3 million Basques.
