We begin in the historic heart of Bilbao, where the city was founded more than 700 years ago.

Walking through the famous “Seven Streets”, you’ll discover how Bilbao grew from a small medieval trading port into the vibrant city it is today.

Along the way, we’ll explore:

- Plaza Nueva Bilbao, the social and cultural hub of the Old Town

- Santiago Cathedral Bilbao, an important stop on the Camino de Santiago

- Hidden corners and everyday life that most visitors miss

This part of the tour gives you the context to truly understand Bilbao before moving to its modern side.

After exploring the Old Town, we dive into one of the most important traditions of the Basque Country: the pintxos culture.

I will take you to a selection of authentic local bars, where you’ll experience how locals eat, drink, and socialize.

During this stop, you will:

- Learn how to order and enjoy pintxos like a local

- Discover the difference between traditional and modern pintxos

- Get personalized recommendations based on your taste

This is a relaxed and social part of the tour — perfect to enjoy the atmosphere and take a break.

(Food and drinks are not included, so you can freely choose what you prefer.)

We finish the tour at Bilbao’s most iconic landmark — the Guggenheim Museum, a symbol of the city’s transformation.

From the outside, you’ll discover:

The revolutionary architecture designed by Frank Gehry

The meaning behind its design and materials

How the museum changed Bilbao forever

If you wish, we can enter the museum and explore a curated selection of artworks together. I will guide you through the key pieces in a simple and engaging way, making contemporary art easy to understand and enjoyable.
