My Trip to Bilbao, Euskadi
... et un petit périple autour de la Cote Biscayenne,
au Nord du Pays Basque Sud...
The Biscayan Coast
This vast area houses typical fishing harbours, beaches frequented by families and surfers and, in the hinterland, a whole heritage to explore, including wine-growing.
The advantage: you stay close to Bilbao, easily accessible by metro or train.
Gernika-Lumo, a symbol city since its bombing in 1937, is an economic and historical center, away from the tourist movement of the coast.
