Plans for a day, organise a getaway!
'Euskadi part of you': 120 plans all over the Basque Country to enjoy landscapes, gastronomy, culture, nature, sport and adventure... And all of them can be done with your family, as a couple, with friends, with your pet or alone. Below we highlight two plans per province. #bizitEuskadi
Bizkaia
Bilbao with the youngest members of the family.
Going up to Artxanda is a great way to start the day, a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. There are football fields, long paths, sculptures, spectacular views, vestiges of Bilbao's history... And if you go up in the funicular, it will be like going on an attraction for your children.
For the afternoon we recommend two types of activities: On the one hand, visit the museums of the Villa (for example the Athletic Club Museum or the Itsasmuseum); and on the other hand, if you feel like a more open-air plan, visit the Doña Casilda Park or the Etxebarria Park.
Walking along the Arrazola and Elorrio Greenway.
The Arrazola Greenway on the old railway line in the beautiful valley of Atxondo and the nearby monumental town of Elorrio create the perfect Basque tourist package: a walk through mountains, meadows and farmhouses, quality gastronomy to regain strength and history and attractive artistic heritage to round off the day. Discover the different resources offered by this plan.
Gipuzkoa
Industrial tourism: heritage and active factories.
If you want to get to know our culture, our economic heritage, the history of the development of an area... this is the plan for you. We invite you to visit both old factories that used to carry out activities that are now extinct, as well as some factories that are an economic engine for the area.
We will move between Errenteria and Pasaia: both enclaves have a varied gastronomic offer suitable for all palates, so as you can have breakfast in Pasaia, maybe you can have lunch in Errenteria. More information about the plan here!
Gastronomic getaway to the interior of the province.
We propose a weekend getaway for 1 or 2 nights: The experience begins on Saturday morning at the Tolosa Market, where we will get to know the local products and smell and enjoy the colourful flowers and plants.
We will continue with the famous Puppet Museum, where we will learn about this millenary art. Afterwards, we will have a typical meal of Tolosa beans and a guided tour of the city. And after a break and before dinner, visit and tasting in a cider house.
On Sunday morning, before setting off for home, a tasting at the Euskal Txerri Damasoro Farm is a must. Come and enjoy Gipuzkoa! Further information.
Álava
Discover the walled towns.
Alava has a rich history and a unique heritage inherited from those centuries that have marked the character of its people and its landscape.
The walled towns such as Peñacerrada, Laguardia, Labraza and Antoñana provide an extraordinary opportunity to follow a route by car or motorbike that will take you to this unique heritage. We propose a circular route that can be done in any direction.
Viewpoints and endless landscapes in Rioja Alavesa.
The route we have prepared for you will take us to enjoy the unique landscape of Rioja Alavesa with a sea of vineyards before us.
We will pass through Samaniego, Elciego, San Vicente, San Roque, Cruce de Miradas, Laguardia, Sierra de la Demanda... Until we reach Labastida and the El Cristo viewpoint, where our journey ends.
