Educational Tours based in Cambridge MA, Santa Barbara CA, Dallas TX, and
Miami FL could use information. They advertise a tour of "Madrid,
Cantabria, and Barcelona" but if you join it hoping to see the
caves of Altamira, you will be disappointed. You will travel from Madrid
to Bilbao to see the new museum and then "continue to the Basque region to
San Sebastian," and on to Irunea and Barcelona.
The organizers must think like Larramendi, or that Bilbao is in Cantabria,
or they are deliberately trying to avoid mentioning the Basque Country in
the title. Ze uste duzue?
Anyway, different universities and educational organizations
regularly send a lot of similar materials and I noticed that they have NO
tours going to Euskal Herria, but they do go to every corner of Spain, and
Portugal, too. Maybe they believe Euskal Herria is not part of Spain?

Seriously, this is a double-edged sword. If the folks in
Madrid continue to advertise Castile and Andalusia as representatives
of Spain, it follows that the Catalans, Galicians and Basques aren't.
