Full description

Spend a magical day looking out over the Cantabrian Sea in San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo and Mundaka, and learn about Basque history in Guernica. And to finish, what could be better than a txacoli tasting?



We meet in Bilbao: See you next to the Puppy sculpture, in Bilbao. The guide will be waiting for you to take our bus and go straight to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, our first stop.



A legendary setting, Dragonstone: 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 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.



Guided tour in Bermeo: We will continue our route along the Basque coast, heading towards Bermeo. There, we will take a walking tour with our guide, who will explain the most important moments of its past.



Next stop: Mundaka village: The following stop will be the seafaring town of Mundaka, a surfer's paradise where you can wander the streets, enjoy the views and have free time for lunch: don't miss its typical seafood dishes.



Guernica, living history: Our day trip continues to 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. Listen to the anecdotes that this town, located in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, treasures.



Txacoli testing to ends our day: 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. The bus will drop you off at the same point of departure. Don't miss this adventure!

Excellent excursion. Guide was brilliant, very informative and knowledgeable. I would recommend this excursion to everybody. However, would have prefered some free time in Gernika. The visit to the winery was enjoyable. Great wine and stunning views! What more could you ask for!
