Experience the Charm of the Basque Coast – Full-Day Excursion from Bilbao

Over the course of this excursion, you'll be captivated by the charm of Gipuzkoa, a province brimming with breathtaking landscapes and deeply rooted traditions that become evident at every stop along the way.

Our first stop is Hondarribia, one of the most picturesque villages along the Basque coast. It's also the last Spanish town before the natural border formed by the Bidasoa River, which separates it from Hendaye, the gateway to the French Basque Country.

As you pass through its medieval gates, such as the San Nicolás and Santa María entrances, you'll be transported into an atmosphere steeped in history and seafaring heritage.

Don’t miss the town’s most iconic scene: the colourful timber-framed houses of the Marina district, a lively area that truly reflects the vibrant Basque spirit.

In Search of the Atlantic Essence

Next, we make our way to San Sebastián, a city that wins over every visitor with its blend of sea, elegance, and culture. During a panoramic tour, you'll admire the iconic La Concha beach, famous for its elegant railings and spectacular views over the Bay of Biscay.

We’ll then stop briefly to stroll along the seafront promenade and visit the stunning Miramar Palace. You'll have free access to its gardens, offering some of the most privileged views in the city.

En route, we’ll cross the Maria Cristina Bridge, one of San Sebastián’s most striking structures, with towering pillars inspired by the bridges of Paris.

Afterwards, you'll enjoy free time to explore San Sebastián at your own pace. The coach will drop you off close to one of the liveliest areas – perfect for indulging in the local gastronomy. This is your chance to sample some of the best pintxos in the Basque Country: small culinary masterpieces served on bread, bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavours.

You might also choose to visit the Basilica of Santa María or lose yourself among the winding streets of the delightful old town, where centuries of history meet the most genuine local atmosphere.

Hidden Gems from the Very First Step

The journey continues to Getaria, a charming fishing village where we'll enjoy a guided walking tour. Wander through its cobbled streets, learn about its seafaring past, and hear tales of historic figures such as Juan Sebastián Elcano. There’ll also be time to take in views of the harbour, the lighthouse, and the famous islet known as the Mouse of Getaria.

And for one last stunning view, keep your eyes peeled for the breathtaking panorama of Zumaia, which we’ll enjoy on the return journey.

Make the most of your stay in Bilbao and discover the treasures of the Gipuzkoan coast on this all-encompassing day trip.
