Blue and green mingle in this place where life owes its existence to a wonderfully generous sea. The memory of the landscape, in every bend of its roads, recalls episodes of beauty that is incomparable in its genuineness and wildness. It is a land in which the difficult history of its people, engraved in iron, is aware of its origins, some of which are civilised, others not so much. It is a place where the true heritage resulting from centuries and centuries of liberties and cultural peculiarities of many generations is safeguarded. A place where modern times will always hold a place in its heart for the past.

Bizkaia, its coast, the mistress of that Urdaibai Reserve which is pure nature and which now belongs to the whole of mankind, with golden sands worn by an almost unreal landscape of breakers and cliffs, … It is the coast of Bizkaia, an immense and varied compendium of heritage, a land of symbols, the Assembly House of Gernika, its legendary tree, the Abra transporter bridge or the shrine at St. John of Gaztelugatxe.

It is a land that has been touched by magic, a land that invites you to travel. Miles of coast to discover, an initiatory trip on the sea that is the Basque Country. From Mundaka to Portugalete, the towns which, on the east and west respectively, close this particularly attractive piece of coastline, taking in Bermeo, Bakio, Gorliz, Plentzia, Sopelana, Getxo or Gernika-Lumo.

The tourist promotion association Euskal Kostaldea Euskal Kostaldea is the result of a passion for this land and the desire to make it known to the rest of the world and gives an accurate account of the interests of its people in whom, in the end, lies the main reason for the powerful influence that this special corner has on one's memory.

Having arrived, there is nothing easier than enjoying the innumerable events held throughout the year, many of which are associated with our most genuine traditions, some of them rooted in our millenary culture.

Based on a full range of top quality products and embellished with the passion of artists of unbounded imagination, our cuisine has undoubtedly become one of the main attractions for our visitors.

Whatever it is that brings you here, you are very welcome.
