Things to see and do in Basque country:

Visit Bilbao and see the  Guggenheim Museum, Plaza Ensanche, the Euksalduna Palace, Jardines de Albia and multiple local churches.

Go boating along the coast for a totally different view of the region.

Stroll slowly through San Sebastian and Biarritz and the old quarter,

Go on a wine tour, and enjoy tasting local vintages at Vitoria and the Rioja Wine Region.

Sample the varied local cuisine.

Enjoy hiking throughout the foothills..

Take in the local cultural sights. One of the best known paintings of the Spanish civil war was Picasso’s depiction of Guernica. Visit Guernica which is only a 10 minute drive away.

My personal recommendation: I found skiing in nearby Andorra world-class. In summer months, hike in Andorra for an active vacation in one of the world’s smallest and warmly welcoming countries.
