Benefit from convenient round-trip transportation from Bilbao

Departing from Bilbao, your journey begins in the historic town of Gernika, a place deeply tied to the identity and history of the Basque Country. Known as the heart of Basque democracy, Gernika is home to the iconic Gernika Tree and the Casa de Juntas, where the region’s ancient freedoms were once upheld. As you explore this symbolic town, you will learn about the significant events that have shaped its past and left a lasting mark on Basque heritage. The visit offers a thoughtful blend of history and culture, providing a deeper understanding of the Basque people’s enduring spirit.

Continuing your adventure, you will head to the awe-inspiring San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a dramatic rocky islet linked to the mainland by a narrow stone bridge. If conditions allow, you may climb its winding steps to reach the small hermitage at the top, said to bring good luck to those who ring its bell. The day concludes with a relaxing boat ride from the picturesque fishing towns of Bermeo or Mundaka, where you can breathe in the salty sea air and take in panoramic views of Gaztelugatxe and the rugged coastline. As you return to Bilbao, you will carry with you lasting impressions of Basque history, culture, and the region’s wild coastal beauty.
