The Basque Country is located in northern Spain and southern France. Almost 50 years ago the Basque Club of Utah was founded and a few years later the dance group was formed. They travel all over the USA performing at different festivals. An independent culture from its neighbors of France and Spain, the Basque cuisine is distinctive in its reliance on such ingredients as beans, cod, paprika and sheep’s milk cheese. The Basque sausage and lightly fried doughnut-like churros are emblems of the Basque community.
