If the Basque Country has any distinguishing drink, itās cider. The apple orchards adapt well to the rugged terrain and the climate, and cider used to be made in many farmhouses. It is possible to trace the start of the path of Basque cider on its journey to the rest of the world back to the Middle Ages, to the whaling boats that sailed to Newfoundland. It was much cherished as the vitamins in the cider prevented the sailors from falling ill with scurvy.
