Bilbao — Lekeitio

Hugging the coast

4 days111.3 km

A journey along the Bay of Biscay. Maritime landscapes, towns full of character, and the estuary as a starting point. The Basque coast, at its own pace.

Lekeitio — Zarautz

Basque Country in Blue and Green

3 days86.5 km

Between the sea and the mountains. Not only the sea. Also the interior: farmhouses, valleys, and a past discovered at a slow pace.

Zarautz — Donostia/San Sebastián

With lots of taste

3 days87 km

Towards gastronomic tradition. Markets, pintxos and local cuisine. Here, life is enjoyed through food. On egin.

Donostia/San Sebastián — Vitoria-Gasteiz

Reconnecting with your senses

4 days164 km

A stage that unites nature and heritage. Discover the interior, where Euskadi reveals its most authentic character.

Vitoria-Gasteiz — Laguardia

A journey into the past

3 days130.5 km

The landscape transforms. Discover in Rioja Alavesa a sea of vineyards dotted with unique wineries. Explore the medieval streets of Laguardia and the secrets of the cellars hidden beneath its streets.

Laguardia — Orduña

Slowing down and stopping time

2 days107 km

From the landscape shaped by nature to the one moulded by human hands. In Añana, the salt flats give form to a town that has been extracting salt for millennia; at Monte Santiago, the Nervión river plunges into the void from long before these lands were inhabited. More landscapes. More culture. More to discover.

Orduña — Bilbao

A journey between beginnings and the future

3 days132.5 km

From iron to titanium. On one hand, the roots: the echo of the mines where the cry of a people's pride was born, and the fishing nets that look out to the Bay of Biscay. On the other, the future: a city that knew how to be reborn.

Lekeitio — Vitoria-Gasteiz

A legendary journey

2 days164 km

From the coast of Lekeitio to the heart of Álava, leaving the sea behind to venture into inland Euskadi, between the parks of Urkiola and Gorbeia. Mountains of legend, where Basque mythology dwells.
