Visit to the Basque Railway Museum in Azpeitia and steam train ride
- Basque Country in Blue and GreenLekeitio — Zarautz
Description
The Basque Railway Museum, located in Azpeitia, brings together an extensive collection of steam locomotives, carriages and railway equipment documenting the history of the train in the Basque Country. The visit offers an insight into the evolution of transport in the region and the role the railway played in the industrial development of the territory. The museum combines a static exhibition with a live experience: from Easter until 1 November, visitors can take a steam train journey aboard historic carriages between Azpeitia and Lasao, hauled by a working steam locomotive. The route passes through the natural landscape of the valley, adding a scenic dimension to the historical interest. The experience is particularly suited to those looking to combine culture, industrial history and landscape in a single day in inland Gipuzkoa.
