Many travelers enjoy a great city like Bilbao but are unaware that Bilbao would be nothing without the towns that surround it along the Nervión estuary as it reaches the sea.
This tour goes through all the towns on the two banks of the estuary, learning about their history and visiting all of its most emblematic corners, from Barakaldo to Algorta, passing through Santurce. Crossing the estuary on a historic bridge such as that of Portugalete in an authentic experience.
A visit to the mining town of La Arboleda is also included, climbing the historic La Reineta Funicular.

Getxo is one of the most attractive and striking spaces in Greater Bilbao, a town in movement that lives facing the sea. Getxo is one of those municipalities that offers us everything we need to know the history and culture of Euskal Herria, the essence of the Basque people.
The tour begins at the Bizkaia Bridge, affectionately Hanging Bridge. A colossus, which in addition to being one of the most emblematic buildings in Euskal Herria, represents the most comfortable and practical way to cross the estuary to reach the neighboring towns of Santurtzi or Portugalete. Declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco similar to the Eiffel Tower and that continues to function as such since 1890.
At the end, the Old Port, the old fishing village. A very picturesque place, where Bizkaians gather to enjoy friends and gastronomy in summer.
The visit ends in the most Bilbao style, we go for pintxos !! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). Pintxo is the 5th essence, a bite-sized aperitif.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Transporter Bridge and its industrial past. We will follow the route to the coast until we reach the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. There, we will see from the distance at the lookout point, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Next stop at the fishing village of Bermeo to enjoy a nice tasting. Then we will complete our route with a stop to the historic town of Gernika to visit the area of the Assembly House and famous Tree of Gernika.
