The Little Slice of France and Spain in Nevada | Atlas Obscura x Travel Nevada

There’s a region that straddles the borders of Spain and France called the Basque Country. Over the course of a century, people from this region migrated to Nevada, first chasing the Gold Rush and then working as shepherds and bringing their own distinct touch to the Silver State. Today, Basque culture thrives in northern Nevada, celebrating their traditions and their food, which has been described as “half Spanish, half French, and mostly garlic.”
