	Near Bilbao: San Juan de Gaztelugatxe Tip Rating:

Close to Bilbao and Bakio you find this interesting place. It's a small island linked to terra firma. You access to it from the main road going down a narrow road. On top of the island there is the hermitage. It's tradition that when reaching the top you ring the bell pulling down the rope so bad spirits go away.

	Near Bilbao: Beaches (BAKIO) Tip Rating:

Updated By SirRichard on September 14, 2004

The beach

by SirRichard

Just 40 minutes north of Bilbao is Bakio, a wonderful little beach near Bermeo, just in case it gets too hot here.

To get here by car, go out towards the airport and then follow towards Bermeo, turning left after "Larrauri". You will see the signs...
There is a BizkaiBus bus from the Moyua Square, but it stops in every little town and takes about 1 hour.

Not far from Bilbao you can visit this small place, unfortunately famous for the tragedy when it was bombing in the 1930's. It doesn't take much to visit it but is an obligatory visit. See Travelogue for more information.

Quite close to Bilbao you can find this nice place by the sea, Bakio. Walk along the seafront and see the beautiful cliffs. In this beach are held important surf championships. There are also some belvederes and churches to visit.

there's Miguel's friend in the
pic with me

by zestnzeal2003

Frankly speaking, i do not know where this place is as it was my friend Miguel who took me there! i only know it is somewhere near Bilbao... it's a spectacular sight of nature at work. Look at the arch on the right of the photo! it was amazing climbing up the flights of stairs to the little church, and looking out to the sea from there. loved the feeling of wind blowing against my face....

If you wanna visit a typical basque harbour, Bermeo is the place. Magnificient restaurants too!! It's located in the north coast, some 50 minutes from Bilbao.

	Near Bilbao: Las Arenas - Churruca Monument Tip Rating:

Updated By DanielF on December 13, 2007

Bilbao Page by DanielF

by DanielF

The monument located at the mouth of the Nervion River depicts Evaristo Churruca, the engineer who directed the works of the exterior Port of Bilbao and canalization of the Nervion River, which allowed for the development of Bilbao as a centre for industry and trade.

His family hailed from the fishing town of Mutriku, in Guipuscoa, and was a relative of the admiral Cosme Damian Churruca, one of the heroes of the Battle of Trafalgar.

	Near Bilbao: If you have a couple of days,... Tip Rating:

By Andares on August 25, 2002

Bilbao Page by Andares

If you have a couple of days, take some time to visit the coast and maybe even go to the beach. Nice towns to visit are Plencia, Algorta (especially the old fishermen village called 'Puerto Viejo'), etc. Nice beaches are: Azkorri (bus Bilbao-Azkorri), La Salvaje (subway stop 'Larrabasterra' plus 15-minute walk), Gorliz (subway stop 'Plencia' plus 30-minute walk).
