Embark on a day trip to San Sebastián, Hondarribia, Hendaye, and Getaria from Bilbao, where you will uncover the beauty of Gipuzkoa's capital as well as the enchanting villages nestled within the Basque Country.

Details of the Day Trip

On the day of our excursion, we will convene at the Puppy flower sculpture, located adjacent to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. From this iconic meeting point, our journey will commence eastward.

Our first destination is Hendaya, situated just beyond the French border. This charming town in the French Basque region will welcome us for a 45-minute guided tour where we can enjoy its scenic promenade, pristine beaches, and the distinctive grace of its architecture.

Following this, we will proceed to Hondarribia. As we navigate the route, insights into the history and hidden gems of this lovely locale will be shared. Here, you will have some leisure time to explore the old town, marveling at the stunning wooden-balconied houses and the notable Puerta de Santa María. You will also have an opportunity to savor lunch at a local eatery.

Next, we will make our way to the sophisticated San Sebastián. Our visit will kick off at the breathtaking Palacio de Miramar and its gardens, a symbol of the city that provides a perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of Bahía de la Concha. After our visit, we will stroll towards the city center, crossing the beautiful Puente de María Cristina. Here, you will have additional free time to meander through the vibrant old town, visit the Town Hall, and admire the grand Basilica de Santa María. Additionally, you can indulge in the renowned Basque pintxos that have made the city famous!

Our final stop will be the charming town of Getaria, renowned as the birthplace of the designer Cristóbal Balenciaga. A brief guided tour will unveil its most notable highlights, after which you can relish its unique scenery and atmosphere. For those interested, there is also the option to visit the esteemed Balenciaga Museum.

Concluding this enriching experience, we will journey back to our original meeting point in Bilbao, wrapping up this memorable 10.5-hour exploration.
