Why this trip

Industrial port was yesterday: Bilbao has renewed itself, and the greenery all around is a reason to give the city time. The hills of the Basque Country begin directly behind the houses, and hiking paths lead to viewpoints above the Ría. If you explore the city on foot, you cross the Zubizuri bridge to the Guggenheim Museum and walk along the river to the Doña Casilda Iturrizar park. Pintxos bars provide energy in between, which is pleasant after a stage.

By bicycle the coast can be explored, and the sea offers surfing opportunities. From April to June and from September to October the days are mild, though rain is possible. Above the city centre lies the hill of Artxanda, reached by a funicular or a footpath, and from which Bilbao looks like a model. If you want to spend a day by the sea, travel to the coast at Getxo or Bakio, where beach, waves and coastal paths await.

San Sebastián lies nearby as a neighbour, Madrid and Barcelona further away. In the video call you discuss how many days you want to spend in the city and hinterland and which distance appeals to you.
