Private Tour: Half-Day Tour of the Biscay Coast
Dramatic coastline, industrial heritage, and Basque identity define this private half-day exploration of Bizkaia’s most iconic landmarks. Departing directly from the hotel, the journey begins with a stop to admire the Biscay Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its pioneering iron architecture and role in industrial innovation. The route continues to Butrón Castle, a storybook fortress set amid forested surroundings, offering striking photo opportunities and a glimpse into the region’s romantic past. Along the rugged coast, time is reserved to take in sweeping views from San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, where sea, cliffs, and stone pathways create one of northern Spain’s most memorable landscapes. The experience then shifts to maritime life with a guided walk through a traditional fishing town, Bermeo, before concluding in Gernika. Here, a visit to the Casa de Juntas provides insight into Basque history, democracy, and cultural identity. Scenic, informative, and unhurried, the tour offers a well-rounded introduction to the Biscay coast.
