Description
Spend a magical day looking out over the Cantabrian Sea in San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo and Mundaca, and soaking up Basque history in Guernica.
We will meet next to the Puppy sculpture in Bilbao and travel straight to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, our first destination. There, one of the key settings in the Game of Thrones series awaits us. Does Dragonstone ring a bell?
To reach the hermitage at the top, you'll have to put on your trainers and cross a stone bridge with 241 steps. An access permit is normally required, but with this activity, it's guaranteed.
Get your camera ready because you'll have panoramic views over the cliffs of Bakio. Disconnect, relax and recharge your batteries while you enjoy the spectacle with the sea breeze caressing you.
We will continue with the route going to the Basque coast, in Bermeo, where you will take a walking tour with the guide, who will explain the most relevant moments of its past.
After a guided walk around Mundaca, another of the stops, you can have lunch in the area and try some typical seafood dishes. The next stop will bring you closer to the history of the Basque people; we are talking about Guernica..
Walk around the town and see the air-raid shelters, the Guernica tree and the mural with a reproduction of Picasso's emblematic painting of the bombing, and listen to the anecdotes that this town, located in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, treasures.
To round off the excursion in style, there will be a tasting of txakoli, one of the most famous Basque products. At the end of the route, we will return to Bilbao in the afternoon.
Don't miss it!.
