Itinerary

1

Getaria Fishing Port

Heading westward, we will bump into extensive green fields packed with Txakoli vineyards overlooking the sea and catch a glimpse of our first destination: the beautiful coastal town of Getaria, known for being an important fishing sea port, home to the museum of famous fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga, and the birthplace of Juan Sebastian Elcano, the first man to circumnavigate the earth. Enjoy a guided stroll through the village and its famous port, while learning about its history, the traditional Basque fishing methods, and important personalities born in Getaria.

2

Zumaia

We will admire the spectacular coastline of the province of Gipuzkoa and the famous Flysch of Zumaia, one of the locations used for the filming of Game of Thrones Season 7. From here, we will take a short stroll along the Flysch Route and contemplate one of the most breathtaking sceneries of the entire Basque Coast (also a wonderful spot for photo opportunities).

3

Gernika-Lumo

Continuing westward, we will cross into the province of Bizkaia to visit the village of Gernika, best known outside of the Basque region for being the place where one of the first aerial bombings against civilian population took place in 1937.

4

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Following the coastal road, we will arrive to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, another location used for the filming of Game of Thrones Season 7, to admire the breathtaking views of this ancient islet on the Gulf of Biscay from its lookout point. Note: we will only stop for a few minutes for photo opportunities; we will not do the hike to the top of the hermitage.

5

Bilbao

We will arrive into Bilbao to drop you off at your accommodation in the city and bid you farewell. This marks the end of our transfer trip through the Basque Coast.
