The Basque Country in the south west of France is definitely and forever my "heartical country". A place I love and where I feel alive. My personal history is linked to it. Taking a picture and describing it in words was not enough to make the tribute that this country deserves.
I am a very big fan of travel posters and travel advertisements that tourist offices, or railways companies imagined or sketched at the beginning of the century until the 50-60's years. That's why I imagined a serie of posters in this style, which represents not so known places you can find in Basque Country.
