Excursions
There are many places near Bilbao that can make an ideal day or half-day trip. At the mouth of the Nervión river, we find the impressive Bizkaia transporter bridge, and the villages around the bay, full of history and interest. Travelling slightly further away, we can choose between a coastal or an in-land route. The coast of Bizkaia has beautiful beaches and traditional fishing villages; their fishermen were capturing whales from rowing boats a thousand years ago. The in-land is an abrupt landscape, with well preserved natural enclaves in deep valleys surrounded by steep mountains.
