Full description
The estuary of the Urdaibai River has many attractions that can be enjoyed in a short trip from Bilbao. The hermitage of Gaztelugatxe, which was the set for Dragonstone in the Game of Thrones series, is a good starting point. Whilst there, enjoy the sea views in contrast to the towering nearby mountain. Take your time and climb up the 241 stairs which take you to the top of Gaztelugatxe, where you can ring the bell three times according to tradition. Following that, the coastal town of Mundaka allows you to see firsthand how old fishing traditions are still maintained in the present day. You then travel from Mundaka to reach Gernika, where rural and agricultural traditions are mixed with their varied histories. Gernika is an important reference town in Basque history, being home to the ancient tree where the medieval kings of Spain swore to respect local laws. It is also where the German bombing took place during the Spanish Civil War, destroying much of the city. At the conclusion of your experience, your driver returns you back to Bilbao.

This tour was AMAZING! I can’t thank José enough for this insightful tour about the beautiful Basque Country. He is also a fantastic driver and has the best parking skills we’ve ever seen! He had great storytelling abilities and we learned so much about the history of all the towns. In addition, he was very kind, helped take photos for us, and took us to the best spots! I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Basque Country. It was the best!

Il tour è molto interessante, le guide molto disponibili e simpatiche, avrei preferito potermi avvicinare di più al santuario, lo abbiamo visto solo da un punto panoramico in alto perché l'accesso era chiuso per lavori di manutenzione, ma comunque avremmo potuto scendere fino all'inizio della scalinata, invece siamo rimasti in alto.

it's a great tour if the weather is good.. Unfortunately we encountered a humid day to say the least.. and we weren't able to go and see the Sanctuary.. Jose, our guide, was fantastic.. welcoming ... the attitude, the calm and interested way of speaking so that everyone understood was nice :)
