# Relocation & immigration — Bilbao

*Basque Country*

Bilbao is the industrial and cultural heart of the Basque Country, with high living standards, strong public services and its own regional tax administration. It appeals to professionals who value quality of life over sun-belt tourism.

The Basque Country has its own tax authority (Hacienda Foral), so local specialist advice matters — our partners work with the regional system.
