This active tour includes two of the most local activities: hiking and pintxos. It kicks off by meeting at Plaza Unamuno, in the oldest part of Bilbao. There, introductions will be made and expectations will be set. As we walk through Zazpikaleak (7 streets) I´ll tell you a little about the history and development of the city, the importance of its river and its minery.
As we leave the town behind, the landscape will become greener and wilder in a two-hour hike up to Mount Pagasarri (673m). In total, a 14km challenging loop, nothing too strenuous if you are used to hiking. Once at the top, we´ll enjoy breath-taking views and a customized picnic prepared by your guide with some local fresh snacks and fruits.
Finally, back into town, we´ll discover some more interesting topics about the Basque culture and enjoy our last hour in one of the most authentic bars of Bilbao, where you´ll be treated to 3 pintxos and a drink(wine, beer, soda/juice).
