This historic and sustainable nature walking tour, starts in Bilbao and using the public transport to get to the coast, we will guide you through the history of the Basque Country. The Nervion River is the origin of Bilbao and it is also the main axis to understanding the development of Bizkaia and the Basque Country. From the fantastic Azkorri beach, a very special beach and probably our favorite beach close to Bilbao city (it is easy to reach by bus). This beach with black sand, is covered by a green blanket of dunes and flanked by a steep cliff, it is the perfect spot for nature lovers, and is considered a geological and biological jewel. The path that runs along spectacular landscapes and steep cliffs, arriving to the mouth of the River and up to Bizkaia Bridge will help you to understand the past and the present of Bizkaia; the most important province of the Basque Country full of heritage and traditions.

Inclusions: 4 pintxos and 4 drinks per person: Zurito (small beer), Rioja Crianza (Red wine), Txakolí Basque White Wine, Mosto (non alcoholic grape drink) or cold drinks, Public transport tickets , 6 hours guided bespoke tour in English/French/Spanish/Basque, Nordic Walking poles, Bizkaia Bridge admission fee

Exclusions: Any other meals and drinks not mentioned

We travelled by car from Bilbao with Iñaki for a day tour to Rioja. Tasted some fantastic wines and had some very interesting wine making information from wine makers. Iñaki explained much about the history of the Basque and Rioja regions during the day’s travelling. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in wine making and regional Spain.

Inaki tailored a coastal and riverine walk for me when I visited Bilbao for a week 2 years ago. i stayed in his beautiful historic home in the old city for several days and was delighted with our half day walking tour. As a historian, I am keenly interested in local industrial and natural heritage. Inaki was very knowledgeable, entertaining and interesting. I would highly recommend. A Happy Traveller

We had a great time touring Pamplona with Iker. We walked the entire length of the route of running of the bulls and his knowledge of the tradition was incredible. We also toured the church to see the chapel of San Fermin and the fortress and city walls. The highlight of the trip was lunch in the cafe Iruña. Iker recommended the best local food and gave us so much history of Navarra. We also got the insider access to the side bar at Cafe Iruña to get pics with the statue of Hemingway leaning on the bar. A super memorable day for a bunch of Hemingway / Sun Also Rises fans.
