Discover the secrets of the incredible coast of Biscay (free tour)
Tour description
Do you prefer amazing natural places and small, welcoming historic towns to the chaos of big cities? Do you want to reach those places that only a few locals know about? Get on board our car and discover the wonderful coast of Bizkaia!
There is much more to the Guggenheim in Bilbao than just the Guggenheim. In fact, for nature lovers and explorers, the best part of the region is located outside the city of Bilbao, mainly on the coast. There, the hills end just before the sea, creating incredible landscapes with amazing cliffs, exciting beaches, wonderful villages and fascinating places. All of those places are out there waiting for someone like you to visit them.
The best part? Not even locals usually visit them. Many of them don't even know that some of these places exist, so they are usually quiet, relaxing, and lonely places. You will probably be the only tourist there. Trust us, if you like panoramic views and green rocky shores, this will be one of the best free tours of your life!
We will visit the following places:
- The huge cliffs and astonishing rock formations ("flysch").
- The abandoned nuclear plant of Lemoiz, which is part of the Basque Country's recent history.
- An amazing view of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Yes, where Game of Thrones was filmed!
- The small chapel and the cozy seaside village of Mundaka, along with its fantastic landscape of the Urdaibai Bay.
- The iconic fishing village of Bermeo.
- The historic town and ancient institutions of Gernika, together with a mosaic of the Picasso that took the name of the town!
**Also, as you travel from one place to another you will have the opportunity to take in the incredible views of the Cantabrian Sea and the Urdaibai Bay Biosphere Reserve. There are some picturesque places along the way where we can stop, enjoy the scenery and take beautiful memorable photographs.
The tour will last approximately the whole morning, 4.5 hours. It may seem like a long time at first, but I guarantee you won't regret it.
The meeting point and end of the tour will be at the entrance to the Faculty of Economics of the University of the Basque Country in the Sarriko district (Sarriko Faculty of Economics and Business).
Come and enjoy the fascinating coast of Vizcaya!
