In the north of the Iberian Peninsula, we find two regions that will provide us with great moments. These are the Basque Country and Navarre, two territories that are home to a high percentage of Europe's biodiversity. At Natura Bizia, we will reveal the best-preserved corners, the most spectacular biodiversity, and animal fauna in its wildest state. Vertical cliffs, an endless sea, magical forests, and enormous limestone mountains will provide us with unforgettable experiences. We will swim among the largest cetaceans on the planet, enjoy the first steps of the brown bear after its winter hibernation, witness the daily struggle of wolves to conquer new territory, and fly alongside the most powerful of our eagles.

The Scars
The personal stories lived by the Uncle, the Father and the Son, respectively, form a tragic experience that is drawn along a line in time. This line is comparable to a crease in the pages of the family album, but also to a crack in the walls of the paternal house. It resembles the open wound created when drilling into a mountain, but also a scar in the collective imaginary of a society, where the idea of salvation finds its tragic destiny in the political struggle. What is at the end of that line? Will old war songs be enough to circumvent that destiny?

Basque Country, Spain. No one seems to know them. Some glances avoid theirs. Their social circle becomes smaller and smaller. They live under escort, watched by those who protect them and by those who threaten them: it is the experience of living in the shadow of ETA, a savage terrorist gang of unscrupulous criminals… of merely existing under the yoke of those who tomorrow could be their executioners.
