Your day trip from Bilbao begins with a scenic journey to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a small island linked to the mainland by a stone bridge. After walking down a picturesque cliffside path, you’ll climb 241 steps to reach the San Juan Hermitage. The views from the top are truly unforgettable.

Next, you’ll head to Bermeo, a historic fishing town in Biscay. As you stroll through the old town, your guide will share stories of its rich maritime history, with a final stop at the bustling port.

From there, you’ll visit Mundaka, known for its breathtaking views of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and its world-famous surf spot. This charming town has a laid-back vibe, surrounded by natural beauty.

Finally, your tour wraps up in Gernika, where you’ll visit the "Board House" and see the famous Gernika tree—both important symbols of Basque history and heritage. You’ll also learn about the town's tragic past, immortalized in Picasso’s powerful painting "Guernica," a reproduction of which can be viewed here.
