Overview

Many travelers enjoy a great city like Bilbao but are unaware that Bilbao would be nothing without the towns that surround it along the Nervión estuary as it reaches the sea. This tour goes through all the towns on the two banks of the estuary, learning about their history and visiting all of its most emblematic corners, from Barakaldo to Algorta, passing through Santurce. Crossing the estuary on a historic bridge such as that of Portugalete in an authentic experience. A visit to the mining town of La Arboleda is also included, climbing the historic La Reineta Funicular.
