An Industrious Folk
The mountain valleys of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa hold the richest iron deposits in western Europe, worked since Roman times in small water-powered forges called ferrerías. Our smiths produce a Biscayan steel of such hardness that the swords of Toledo, the harquebuses of the Tercios, and the anchors of every Spanish galleon depend on Basque ironmasters. This economy, which mines, smelts, and forges within a single chain, gives the Basque country an industrial weight out of all proportion to its population.
