Basque Country (Basque Euskadi, Spanish Pas Vasco) is an autonomous community of Spain whose capital is Vitoria (Basque Gasteiz). It is part of the larger Basque native lands, which are also called the “Basque Country.” The following Spanish provinces make up Basque Country:

lava	(Basque Araba)	capital Vitoria	(Basque Gasteiz)
Vizcaya	(Basque Bizkaia)	capital Bilbao	(Basque Bilbo)
Guipzcoa	(Basque Gipuzkoa)	capital San Sebastin	(Basque Donostia)

Before the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and its system of autonomous communities, these three provinces were known in Spanish as the Provincias Vascongadas, a term still used by some nostalgics of the Franco era and by independentists who despise the current autonomy and reserve "Basque Country" for the union of the seven territories.
