I take it you're talking about the Basque Country and Navarre? If so then yes, the mountains are less high, but still BIG, the range is more narrow, it's much more green - take the hint and pack your waterproofs! - there are many more passes between France and Spain, the vernacular architecture is totally different, i.e. half timbered houses, and the food and people are great.
So go, go, go. My favourite place to base myself to explore is Ochagavia but if you fancy a city break go to San Sebastian. Be careful of the Roncevalles pass, especially in the morning when it's clogged up with pilgrims on the Way of St James to Santiago.
Enjoy
Simon
