Itinerary

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Heading east from Bilbao, we will arrive to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a 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.

Gernika-Lumo

Continuing eastward, we will 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.

Zumaia

We will cross into the province of Gipuzkoa and head towards Zumaia to admire the spectacular coastline of the province of Gipuzkoa and its famous Flysch, another location 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).

Getaria Fishing Port

Continuing east along the coastal road, we will bump into extensive green fields packed with Txakoli vineyards overlooking the sea and catch a glimpse of our next 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.

Donostia - San Sebastian

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