Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Gernika and a castle

My favorite tour: An exciting trip to a medieval castle hidden in the woods, to be followed by amazing San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and the quaint coastal towns of Bermeo and Mundaka on the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, full of local charm and away from any tourist traps. And of course, historical Gernika, home to one of the oldest Parliaments in the world and so symbolic for us Basques.

Highlights

  • San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the amazing fortress church and its 241 steps!! (but we will see it from an excellent vantage point, unless you specifically prefer to do the two-hour hike)
  • A beautiful medieval castle hidden in the woods (it´s currently undergoing renovation works, but it can be visited from the outside)
  • The quaint fishing towns of Bermeo and Mundaka, in the estuary of Urdaibai, a Biosphere Natural Reserve
  • Historical ​Gernika and home to one of the oldest Parliaments in the world, so unique and symbolic for us Basques
  • A tour full of “Basque” feeling, in a very comprehensive (but relaxed) visit that includes beautiful landscapes, history and architecture
