Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia, Spanish: Vizcaya) is a province of the Basque Country in Spain.
It is generally accepted that Bizkaia, the original Basque term, means something like 'mountain' or 'cliff'. It is a correlate of bizkar, meaning: 1. back, shoulders, 2. cliff, 3. roof structure, 4. leaning on (bizkarretik).
