About this tour
This five-hour excursion from Bilbao threads together three distinct experiences across the Basque coast. Start at the Vizcaya Suspension Bridge, a UNESCO-listed engineering marvel, then venture to a local winery to taste and learn about Txakoli production. You'll get time at the clifftop Gaztelugatxe viewpoint for sweeping vistas, an hour to grab lunch in Mundaka, and a walking tour through Bermeo's fishing heritage. Hotel pickup and return included.

What to expect
After collection from your accommodation, you'll arrive at the iconic Vizcaya bridge for a guided look at how this 1890s transporter system actually works. Next comes a winery stop where staff walk you through Txakoli's crisp character and regional importance before pouring 2–3 samples. The group then climbs to Gaztelugatxe's lookout point—expect plenty of camera time over the Basque coastline. Mundaka gives you breathing room and lunch flexibility (bring cash for local bars). The final leg is a guided stroll through Bermeo's old quarters, tracing its seafaring past. Note: the order shifts depending on which tour option you've booked.
Good to know
