Day trip to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe Bilbao and Guggenheim Museum from Santander

Our adventure begins in San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. This spectacular enclave, known for its breathtaking beauty and mysticism, has captivated visitors and Game of Thrones fans, who recognise it as the setting for unforgettable moments.

Walking across its emblematic stone bridge and climbing the 241 steps that lead to the hermitage is an experience that will transport you to a world of legends and fantasy.

From the top, the infinite blue of the Cantabrian Sea and the natural surroundings will give you views that will remain engraved in your memory forever, while you discover the stories that make this place unique in the País Vasco.

Our next destination is Bilbao, a city that combines tradition and modernity with an amazing balance. Along the way, our guide will share with you curious facts about its transformation from an industrial centre to a cultural reference in Europe.

Upon arrival, we'll take a walking tour of the old town, exploring the Church of San Antón, an iconic symbol that appears on the city's coat of arms. We will also approach the Cathedral of Santiago, the spiritual heart of the city, or the Arriaga Theatre, an imposing neo-baroque building.

After the walk, you'll have some free time to savour the delicious local gastronomy, famous for dishes such as bacalao al pil-pil or the irresistible pintxos.

The Guggenheim Museum awaits you with a full stomach, a jewel of contemporary architecture designed by Frank Gehry.

This iconic building not only impresses with its futuristic design, but also with its contents. It houses permanent collections of international artists such as Jeff Koons, with his famous ‘Puppy’, and Richard Serra, with his monumental installation ‘The Matter of Time’. 

Finally, we will return to Santander, full of memories of spectacular landscapes, fascinating fables and experiences that will stay with you forever. Discover the magic of the País Vasco in just one day: book now!
