Basques in the Paisa Region
The presence of Basque ancestry in the Paisa Region is exhibited by the proliferation of Basque surnames.[3] Some scholars point out that this may be one of the regions of South America with the greatest concentration of ancestry from the Iberian region.[4] The Basques began to arrive in Antioquia during the seventeenth century.
