An incredible inn to inn walking tour with amazing landscapes along the Atlantic Ocean’s Spanish Coast. The Basque Country is among the most unique regions of Spain and hides one of the oldest cultures of Europe. Our self-guided hiking adventure starts in Zumaia, famous for its impressive flysch cliffs, topped by a green countryside. The walking trail, dominated by the scenic coastline, will take you to some really remote parts of the Basque Coast, like Mutriku, Ondarroa, Leikeitio and Elantxobe. These are all small, colorful fishing ports with a strong and authentic identity, hidden amidst hills and ocean. In-between these places, the route offers beautiful viewpoints on the coast. The next destination of this self-guided walking tour is the Urdaibai biosphere reserve – an estuary, surrounded by mountains with emerald waters and golden sand. This is a natural setting of outstanding beauty and diversity, providing home to as many as 245 species of birds that can be seen here during the year. Urdaibai is a reflection of where nature, the ocean coast, and Basque culture intertwine. The town of Guernica is at the heart of this nature paradise, and precedes your arrival at the picturesque hermitage of Gaztelugatxe. The latter is perched on its peninsula, assailed by waves from the ocean! In the lively city of Bilbao, where your independent walking tour ends, you may explore the famous Guggenheim Museum of Contemporary Art.
