Still don't know what to do during Easter in the Basque Country?
Easter is coming up. Which means it’s time to get away from the routine and enjoy those little vacations.
Forget about going to the village or resting on the sofa at home.
If you want to escape the crowds, visit emblematic sites, enjoy culture and gastronomy, we suggest some alternatives that will be hard to forget.
For that, the Basque Country is the best option.
If you like walking along the beaches, breathing fresh air on a route in a beautiful environment, enjoying the famous pintxos, discovering the culture of beautiful cities or small charming towns or simply enjoying some water sport; Come to Euskadi and be amazed!
We suggest some plans so you can get organized. These are just a few ideas as there is so much to do.
San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
It is an islet located on the coast of Bizkaia, about 35 km from Bilbao. It is a must-see. You may not know the name, but if we talk to you about the Dragonstone fortress from the series “Game of Thrones” it may help you
since it was filmed there due to its unique and fantasy setting. In fact, it is the second most visited place in all of Euskadi. You have the option of visiting it by boat, which allows you a more comfortable visit, less tiring for children and to enjoy the coast
Monte Igeldo
Located in San Sebastian, this is a place where both children and adults can enjoy themselves.
Enjoy privileged views of San Sebastian, La Concha Bay and part of its coast. You can ride the famous funicular, which is over a hundred years old, with its wooden carriages, so it will seem like you have travelled back in time.
Children can have a great time in a unique amusement park, as it retains the essence of the parks of the last century.
Cultural gastronomy.
The famous and traditional pintxos have become an art form, thanks to their flavours, aromas and textures. They will not leave you indifferent!
Easter plans in Bizkaia
If you don’t want to travel too much, stay in Bizkaia and enjoy many experiences, there are places that are a must-see.
Butrón Castle
One of the most beautiful fortresses in all of Spain and part of the Spanish Historical Heritage. This castle is located in Gatika (Vizcaya), surrounded by ancient forests.
Currently it cannot be visited but seeing it from the outside in this privileged environment is worth it. And if we tell you that you can do this same route on horseback. It is undoubtedly an added attraction to this plan.
Bizkaia Bridge
Known as the famous suspension bridge, declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site due to its metal structure, its beauty and technology.
The Bilbao Estuary.
One of the most important streets in the city. It allows you to walk along the estuary and enjoy the greatest monuments such as the famous Guggenheim Museum, with its avant-garde architecture and its fascinating surroundings such as the dog-shaped flower garden.
Surf
This is a totally different option, but one that has many fans of this sport delighted due to the great quality of its beaches and, above all, its waves. Beaches such as Laga or Mundaka are the delight of surfers. We carry out courses and camps for both adults and young people.
We could spend hours talking about everything that Euskadi has to offer, so go ahead and come visit us this Easter.
