Bilbao : activités uniques

We will go from 5 to 6 bars to ensure that you have tried everything Bilbao has to offer. We will walk around the city from bar to bar, discovering the basque cuisine, local pintxos and the most popular drinks as well. Even if you see 0 guest coming there might be people joining us from other platforms, don't be shy to ask about the tour or about different schedules. You will get to know the history of Basque language and the Basque people, differences between Spain and Basque Country and the past and present of Bilbao. I am very passionate about History and basque traditions, don't be afraid of making too many questions. I will adapt the route depending on if you are more eager to walk and see places or want to try more local foods. The bars and places we will see on this route are not the main touristy ones, I will bring you to special places for a different reason each. If you are a private group, a company or a team, this is definitely the experience for you, send me a message and I will arrange something that suits you. I had been a host for up to 30 people in the past for some team-building activities. Other things to note You will have eaten enough food at the end of the experience, so you don't need to think about dinner. Let me know if you have any food restrictions or want to focus on a specific kind of food or drink.

San Juan of Gaztelugatxe is probably one of the most beautiful places along the Basque Coast. Since Games of Thrones was shot here, it has become a must see for every visitor. Would you join me on a nice walk along the Basque coast to discover this magic spot? This area is full of beautiful landscapes, great culture, superb gastronomy and breath-taking history. This popular spot is much more than film set and I want to introduce its great natural richness and contribute to the conservation of the place.

Visitaremos algunos de los lugares más hermosos de todo el País Vasco, que además son clave para entender la historia y cultura de esta tierra. Una visita a Urdaibai, área en la que he crecido, visitando lugares mundialmente conocidos como San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Gernika o Bermeo. Nuestro viaje nos llevará primero a la zona de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, famoso por ser el escenario de Rocadragón en la famosa serie “Juego de Tronos”. Actualmente, debido a un corrimiento de tierra no es posible visitar la capilla, por lo que accederemos a varios miradores para contemplar la belleza del lugar. Continuaremos hacia Bermeo, para visitar la que fue capital de la provincia hasta 1602 y descubrir un elemento central de la historia vasca: el mar. La visita finaliza en Gernika, pueblo clave para entender la cultura vasca, donde descubriremos la trágica historia de su bombardeo, que inspiro a Picasso para pintar su famoso cuadro “Guernica”. Me encantaría que me acompañaseis a descubrir mi zona favorita de todo el País Vasco. He crecido jugando, nadando y pescando en este hermoso rincón de nuestra geografía y hoy es el día que quiero compartirlo contigo, ¿te animas?
