Aupa! (Hi in the local language) My name is Aitor, but since it is such a common name in the Basque Country (more than 50k men are called Aitor), people call me AitorPi (adding two letters from my family name). I've felt the wanderlust all my life and visited over 20 countries. I love to be shown around the places I go to and that's why I'd love to show my city to you, now that I've settled down a little. Come and see the beauties of Bilbao with me!

Tour description

Discover the Big Week in Bilbao ( Bilboko Aste Nagusia )...

...and experience it as one of the others!

In this special edition free tour we will visit the surroundings of the Arenal, learning about a party that makes the people of Bilbao cut back on their vacations. Nobody wants to miss them! Why will it be?

Get to know the konpartsas, the txosnas, the txupinazo, the Mari Jaia and everything you need to not miss a single breath of this Big Week in Bilbao. Gora Mari Jaia!

On this 1:00/1:30 hour tour we will visit the main areas of Casco Viejo and El Arenal, the center and origin of the Bilbao festivities. We will listen to the most interesting anecdotes and the organizations that each year make the Big Week possible.

For this tour, I recommend you wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The typical blue party scarf is welcome, of course, but optional :)

There will be time for questions, recommendations and tips to enjoy these holidays in the best way.
