From the peaks of Ondarroa to the shores of the Barbadun estuary framing
Bilbao
The coastline of the Costa Vasca stretches out like a patchwork of serene bays and charming harbors, forming a breathtaking scene as the setting sun bathes them in warm hues. Each turn in the roadway unveils a new vista—from verdant cliffs to tranquil sandbanks caressed by foamy waves. The quaint fishing village of Lekeitio harmoniously blends historical allure with contemporary elegance through its terrace-lined docks and expansive beaches stretching beyond sightlines. Moving onward, Ea—a peaceful harbor town ensconced within a modest inlet—charms visitors with brightly colored historic structures and fishnets drying under the sunlight. Westward lies Gorliz, home to pristine sands and fossilized dunes, offering an idyllic retreat for hikers amid the soothing soundscapes of crashing sea swells and seagull cries. For those captivated by unspoiled wilderness, Gaztelugatxe beckons: this craggy island hosts just one resident—an ancient church perched atop a cliff enduring windswept conditions over centuries.
