This tour drives along Euskadi’s dramatic coastal roads, combining history, nature, and cultural landmarks before reaching Bilbao.

The first stop is Gernika, a town marked by the 1937 Nazi bombing that inspired Picasso's painting 'Guernica.' Your guide will provide detailed insights into this historical event and its impact on the Basque community.

Next, explore the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-listed estuary where the landscape shifts dramatically with the tides, offering diverse ecological views.
