Overview of Bermeo, Spain

Bermeo is one of the most important fishing villages in the Basque Country. The town has a long maritime tradition and, for centuries, the bermeotarras (as locals from Bermeo are called) were famous whalers. Even today Bermeo’s economy is heavily based on the fishing industry and this is highlighted in its coat of arms, which shows a ship pursuing a whale.

One of the most picturesque corners of Bermeo is its beautiful old port , an area with slender houses painted in a myriad of colors that is full of bars where locals stop for a drink and a pintxo.

While in Bermeo, it is also recommended to walk around the steep old part of town located behind the old port, and, if you are interested, it is also possible to visit the museum dedicated to the lives of the arrantzales (Basque fishermen), located in the Ercilla Tower.

Bermeo is situated in the corner of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve , a protected area that features some very beautiful and unique natural landscapes. The town of Mundaka is only 3 kilometers away to the east and 8.5 kilometers in the opposite direction lies San Juan de Gaztelugatxe , one of the Basque Country’s “must sees.”

Bermeo's Top Things to Do & See

Lamera park.

The Lamela Park is located next to the water by the Port Path (“Kai Bidea" in Basque) and is surrounded by plenty of bars. Until 1905 the park was used as a shipyard, however, it has since been converted into a beautiful green area. The Lamera Park along with the Old Port are the most popular areas for locals to gather.

There are also several sculptures spread throughout the park that belong to a series from local artist Nestor Basterretxea called “Euskal Kosmogonia.” Another highlight of the Lamera Park is the impressive Casino Building that stands at its edge.

Casino Building

The so called Casino Building is located in the western corner of the Lamera Park. This majestic building resembling a French palace was erected in 1894 by Spanish architect Severino de Achúcarro – the same architect who also designed the Bidebarrieta Library and the Concordia Train Station in Bilbao .

Originally built for the Bermeo Society Club (“Sociedad Bermeana” in Spanish), the building was meant to be the meeting place for the middle-high class of Bermeo. However, once the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco arrived on the scene in the first half of the 20 th century, gambling was outlawed and the building’s future remained uncertain.

Then, in 1983 massive floods almost completely destroyed the casino. Afterwards it was rebuilt in eclectic style, but its interior isn't as impressive as it once was. There are some nice old pictures hanging on the walls that show how the interior of the building originally was. Also, some important art works were lost in the floods but there are still three murals of painter Ignacio Zuloaga exhibited in the main salon.

The Sociedad Bermeana still occupies part of the building. However, there is also an Irish bar, a café and a restaurant (menú del día for around 16 €, taxes included) as well as an exhibition room called “Nextor Basterretxea” which is also used as a cinema. The bar terrace is a very nice place for a coffee, overlooking the Lamera Park and the water.

Main Square: Town Hall & Santa María Church

The Main Square of Bermeo is called “Plaza de Sabino Arana Goiri.” In its center stands a music gazebo and the space is often used for concerts and celebrations. There are two buildings that stand out on the square and those are the town hall and the Santa Maria Church .

The town hall was built in 1732 in neoclassical style. A third floor was added to it in 1928, this one in eclectic style, a mixture of baroque monumentalism and Basque rustic architecture. Another highlight of the building is the interesting solar clock on the corner of its east and south façades.

The Church of Santa María de la Asunción is the newest church of Bermeo, finished in 1858 by architect Silvestre Pérez. It substituted the church that stood in that same place before, called Church of Santa María de la Tala .

The Church of Santa María de la Asunción is one of the best examples of neoclassical architecture in the Basque Country. The triangular shape of its main façade and its columns make this church unique and very different from most Catholic churches. It actually looks more like a roman or greek temple than a Catholic church.

The most picturesque and photographed corner of Bermeo is probably the marina or also known as the old port (“Portu Zaharra" in Basque). It is an area surrounded by colorful slender houses that overlook the boats in the water. It is also the best area in Bermeo for pintxos .

Another highlight of the old port is its fountain . It was built in the 16 th century and, for centuries, was the source of freshwater for locals as well as fishing and merchant ships. Although it is not that easily recognizable anymore, the fountain is adorned by two shields: the one of Bermeo and the one of the Dominion of Biscay.

There are also several sculptures in the old port area, all of them related to the sea. The sculpture called “Olatua” (meaning “the wave” in Basque) is an impressive 8 m tall steel structure representing a wave and was created by the local artist Nestor Basterretxea.

“Azken olatua, azken arnasa” (meaning “the last wave, the last breath” in Basque) was designed by local artist Enrike Zubia in honor to the people that have died at the sea. This sculpture is a reminder of the fact that the sea has given a lot to Bermeo, but it has also taken a lot.

The worst tragedy in Bermeo's history took place in August of 1912 when 143 fishermen died due to a sudden and violent wind that arrived when they were 45 miles away from shore.

“Itzulera” (meaning “the return” in Basque) was built by don Castor Solano and it represents a fisherman with his son. Made in bronze, this 5 m high sculpture has two very different parts: the faithful representation of the child contrasts with the abstract image of the fisherman.

Ercilla Tower

The Ercilla Tower is a medieval tower from the end of the 15 th century located in the old part of Bermeo. Since 1948 it has housed the Fishermen Museum (“Arrantzaleen Museoa" in Basque), which reopened its doors in November of 2014 after 2 years of renovation.

Divided in 5 floors, the museum shows visitors the lifestyle, work and technic of the local fishermen. In it you will find information about the Basque coast and its fishing villages, the life and customs of the fishermen and their families, the construction of boats and vessels, the different fishing technics used throughout the centuries, and much more.

The museum also has a room dedicated to the history of the building itself . The Ercilla Tower is the only tower that can be found today in Bermeo, although originally there were around 30 of them.

Defensive elements from the tower can still be seen and these are a reminder of a time when the tower played an important role in the town’s security. The tower is also known as being the home for the Ercillas, an affluent merchant family who lived there for several centuries.

Santa Eufemia Church

The Lamera Park and the old port of Bermeo are separated by the Santa Eufemia Church. Although reconstructed at the end of the 15 th century, it is considered the oldest church in town , dating back to the 13 th century. This gothic church was for centuries an oath church , where the Lords of Biscay used to swear the fueros (set of laws to respect the Biscayan liberties).

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Top choice in The Central Basque Coast

One of the most photographed features of the Basque coast, 10km to Bermeo's northwest, is the small, rocky isle of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Accessed from the mainland by climbing 241 steps via a stone footbridge, it's topped by a hermitage, Ermita de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, which was built by the Knights Templar in the 10th century. Between Easter and September, island entry is only guaranteed by reserving an allocated time slot ahead of time online.

Local tradition holds that it was named after St John the Baptist, who allegedly visited the island. Game of Thrones fans will recognise the setting, which starred as Dragonstone in season seven.

The island is the goal of pilgrimages on 24 June, 31 July and 29 August. Legend has it that by ringing the bell outside the hermitage three times, you will be granted a wish and banish bad spirits. And if you don’t believe in such things, the spectacular views along the coast should prove reward enough for the walk out here. Keep in mind that this place gets very crowded in the summer. If coming then, go very early in the morning to beat the worst of the bell-ringing hordes.

Why do we Think that Inheal Company will be Rewriting the History of THC Delta 8 Products?

Inheal is a brand that started the journey in 2021 in Los Angeles, and was created by two enthusiastic young men, they wished the possibility to access to hemp derived products, but with great quality. Thanks to the union of the previous knowledge that each one had, they created one idea, and from that came out Inheal products.

The beginning of Inheal: A disruptive company in the sector of legal products derived from Cannabis.

For one side, Naz had been working for years in the Food industry, inside the logistic team of several brands. Thanks to this, he ended in the cannabinoids’ food sector when he lived in Portland, which allowed him to acquaint with hemp crops and its derivatives. But it was not until the approval of the 2018 farm bill, that he could make the step and would start with the business of extraction and distribution of the hemp.

It was at that moment when he met Tim, which had been dedicating years to the production of hemp and cannabis products. They connected quickly and decided to join their experiences to build a company from zero, Inheal, with the goal of starting producing their own products based on Delta 8, HHC and Delta 9. Thanks to this union, they started the search and production of pure elements with no crossed contamination.

Gummies-based oh THC derivatives

The Delta 8 or Delta 9 gummies are clearly the star product, nobody refuses a candy, and consuming in this format is the most pleasant, diverse and discreet way that exists. On the website you will see there are different flavors, textures and formats, each of them tasty on its way. You can even find a new revolutionary product based on Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms gummies sourced from our local regions.

Moreover, for the vape lovers, you will find Delta 8 vapes, with their corresponding cartridges and oils.

Disposable pens and other products

Besides, if you are a person who enjoys trying a variety of products, you can always choose the Delta 8 disposable pens, easy to use and discard. Pens are perfect if you are a gummies’ fan, but one day you would prefer to get the trip vaping. There are beans and moon rocks, too. Which are ideal for advanced and traditional consumers that wish to take these products in a more natural form. All of these are elaborated with the best source materials and under the highest quality standard.

Inheal mission

When Tim and Naz joined forces, they had a clear mission: to may offer to hemp and cannabis consumers clean substances. After years of being consuming, they realized of the difficulties that will face to finding high quality standard products that will not generate uncertain though, on the new skeptical consumers that would refuse to try these products. In this industry, exist a lot of companies that adulterate arbitrary their products, this can provoke several side effects that are harmful for the users.

In this situation and thanks to their previous experiences, They started to manufacture their line of products.

Bermeo's fishing industry, and at the center of this tale lies the city's emblematic coat of arms. A striking symbol of Bermeo's identity and pride, the coat of arms beautifully captures the essence of this bustling port and its hardworking people.

You know how every town or city has its own unique symbol or coat of arms, right? Well, these heraldic coats of arms are basically like super cool picture books that tell the story of a place’s history. They use symbols and designs to represent the most important events and facts about a town or city, all while following the rules of heraldry (which is like the rulebook for creating these symbols).

Now, let’s talk about the town of Bermeo . Their coat of arms was actually given a little makeover and was officially approved way back on June 6th, 1968, with Decree 1373/1968. This new design includes wolves, a bearded head, a whaler with a whale, a legend, and a bunch of other symbols that represent the big moments in Bermeo’s history. These symbols show off things like the town’s founding, its title as the Head of Bizkaia, and its long-standing connection to fishing, as well as how it’s always been a pretty important place in the region.

The legal recognition of Bermeo’s coat of arms goes all the way back to 1968, and since then, it’s become more and more popular to use it in different ways, both within the town’s government and in other social events and gatherings.

But with all this popularity, the City Council of Bermeo realized that they needed to make sure the coat of arms was being used correctly and consistently. So, they got some help from the technical staff of the municipal Department of Organization, Computer Science, and Quality, as well as some outside experts, to create a single, official version of the coat of arms. They also made sure to get super specific about the colors and materials used, and even hired a specialized company to make sure everything looked perfect.

Now, with the official description from the 1968 Decree and all the detailed work that’s gone into standardizing the design, the coat of arms of Bermeo is all set for everyone to use correctly and proudly represent their town’s history.

Bermeo: A City Rich in Sporting Culture

Located in the heart of the Basque Country in northern Spain, Bermeo is a vibrant and bustling city that is steeped in tradition and rich in sporting culture. Despite its relatively small population of approximately 17,000 inhabitants, Bermeo boasts a diverse range of sporting activities that cater for everyone’s tastes and interests.

One of the most significant aspects of Bermeo’s sporting identity is its love for rowing. As a coastal city, the people of Bermeo have a proud maritime history, and this passion spills over into sport, particularly in the form of the popular trainera rowing. This traditional sport consists of teams racing long, narrow rowboats in regattas along the coast, and it is this discipline that Bermeo excels at. The city is home to the prestigious Bermeo Arraun Elkartea, a club that has achieved significant success both nationally and internationally. Competing at many festivals, including the renowned Kontxako Bandera, they have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of rowing.

Another significant sporting activity in Bermeo is football. As in much of Spain, the round-ball game is immensely popular, and local team Bermeo Futbol Taldea has a dedicated and passionate following in the city. With their stadium, Itxas Gane, located close to the sea, the picturesque setting offers unmatched views and an incredible atmosphere for fans and visitors alike. Besides the local football scene, residents eagerly support their favorite professional clubs, particularly Athletic Club Bilbao, one of the giants of La Liga.

Sitting along the coast, Bermeo offers a playground for water sports enthusiasts. Visitors and locals can enjoy sailing, surfing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding in the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay. With breathtaking scenery and consistent ocean swells, the region provides the perfect environment for both experienced and novice water sports enthusiasts.

Basketball also holds a special place in the hearts of many Bermeo residents, and the game has gained considerable popularity in recent years. With passionate fans, numerous community leagues, and regular charity events featuring the sport, basketball is a vital part of Bermeo’s sporting fabric. The local team, Bermeo Saskibaloi Taldea, competes in regional championships, and the city takes immense pride in their performances.

Finally, a range of other sports and outdoor activities can be enjoyed in and around the city, such as hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. The natural beauty and lush green landscapes surrounding Bermeo provide the perfect backdrop for these activities, with picturesque coastal and hillside routes that offer a unique experience for everyone who takes part.

In conclusion, the city of Bermeo is a thriving hub for sports and outdoor activities. From the traditional rowing sport of trainera to the ever-popular football scene and an abundance of water-based activities along the coast, everyone visiting or living in Bermeo can find something to suit their sporting interests. For a small city, Bermeo truly punches above its weight when it comes to a rich and diverse sporting culture.

Bermeo, a picturesque coastal city in the Basque Country of Spain, is renowned for its rich maritime history, vibrant fishing culture, and stunning landscapes. This charming town offers visitors a unique blend of tradition, gastronomy, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Oficina de Turismo de Bermeo

Bermeo has always been recognised as one of the most important coastal fishing ports of the Cantabrian Coast. We can find written documentation on Bermeo from the l1th century, but the date of its founding is the 13th century. Between the surprising Baztarre and El Torrontero viewpoints, we can enjoy a curious mural that represents the landscape of the town before it was built.

The current Old Town exactly represents what the Medieval city was like when Bermeo became the capital of the Lordship of Biscay. Streets with irregular crossover slopes form one of the oldest and largest historic centres in the Basque Country.

The poorer fishermen’s houses contrasted with the firm walls of the tower houses that housed the nobility. A reliable example of this is Ercilla Tower. Along with the palaces and towers of the nobility, the religious architecture was the most important in Bermeo.

The pretty old port of Bermeo, full of colour and terraces, is the ideal place to enjoy a quiet time. Bar hopping and spending time with friends is one of the most deeply rooted customs in the Basque Country. ​

The day of San Juan is celebrated on June 24 with a pilgrimage to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. On that day, hundreds of people from all over Bizkaia came to participate in the pilgrimage.

Magdalene Day is celebrated on July 22. In a festive and brotherly atmosphere between the towns of Bermeo, Mundaka and Elantxobe, the town of Bermeo confirms ownership of the island in a traditional seafaring procession.

The Festivals of the Patron Saint of Bermeo are known as “Andramaris” and are celebrated every year from 7th to 16th September. One of the most important events celebrated during the Andramaris are the regattas.

Places of interest.

Ercilla Tower

This tower house is the oldest conserved civil building in Bermeo. It is located over the old port in a strategic place from which both the port and sea horizon, and the life of the port can be seen. It was built in the late 15th century and it seems that its purpose was for living, though the thick walls surrounding the building give it the appearance of a shelter.

In 1944, it was named a monument and years later was bought by the Regional Government of Biscay. It was renovated and has been the Museum of the Fisherman since 1948.

The building is the family home of the poet Alonso Ercilla Zúñiga, who was born and grew up in the court of the King, and then took part in the invasion of South America. He maintained close links with Bermeo, so much so that in “La Araucana,” a collection of verses about the war against the Mapuche of Chile or araucanos, he makes a dedication to Bermeo, taking into account his family origins.

“Look Bermeo, district of underbrush,

Capital of biscay, and over the port, the thick wall of the site of ercilla,, site founded before the town”, more information on the museum.

San Francisco Cloister and Church

The San Francisco Convent of Bermeo is the oldest in Biscay. The Lords of Biscay, Count Tello and his wife Juana de Lara, gave the order to build it in 1357. Due to wars or property seizures, the convent underwent many modifications over the centuries: in 1842 it became a barracks, in 1843 a prison, in 1882 a school and in 1886 a court. Since 1928 until the floods of 1983, the cloister was also used as a market. Today, the complex is made up of the church, the cloister and a part of the convent that is completely transformed.

The cloister constitutes the most important element. It opens up onto the central courtyard through depressed arches supported by pillars decorated with three small columns. The four corners have a segmental arch held by corbels decorated with figure motifs: friars praying, singing or deliberating

The church can be visited during mass hours:

Mass schedule: monday to saturday: 7:30 am, 9:00 am and 7:00 pm sundays and holidays: 09:00 am, 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, cloister open every day (free entrance): 09: 00 am-08: 00 pm..

The old port

It is the traditional fishing port of the town, where fishermen houses maintain their Medieval design and shape. It is here that the oldest fountain of Biscay is found, built in the late 16th century.

The houses are built on cliffs, attached to the rock of the land and with a strong slope. They are houses that are very high, with large vanes on the south façade, that have had the wood of the old windows and balconies replaced with iron railings. To contrast with the white limestone, the carpentry was painted in bright colours, green being one of the most usual, of which there are very few examples in Bermeo.

The “Tres cantos” fountain is the oldest conserved fountain in Biscay. It has three very blurry coats of arms. The central one is the imperial coat of arms (double-headed eagle of Charles V), the one on the left bears the emblem of the lordship being worshipped and the one on the right bears the arms of the town of Bermeo. It has been dry for a long time, its pipes long lost.

Santa María Church

It was built when the great Santa María de la Atalaya Church was ruined during the years from 1820 to 1866, in the town centre.

Santa María Church is one of the most significant Neoclassical architectural works in Biscay. The Neoclassical features of the main facade are very striking.

The church has a Latin cross floor with a semi-circular apse and two towers attached to the main facade. The central part is covered by an 8-shell dome. Inside, the large altarpiece and those of the angles are of very high quality. The carving of the Assumption of Our Lady is Romanesque, probably reused from the old Atalaya Church, and a work of Martín Basabe.

Each August, the Church organises a week dedicated to international music, making the most of its majestic organ and the great acoustics provided by its dome.

It can be visited during mass hours.

Sundays and holidays at 12.00.

Portal de San Juan

The San Juan arch is the only one standing of the seven that originally formed part of the Medieval wall. The doors connected the town with the main paths. The Portal de San Juan is called thus for being the one that exists from the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe Hermitage. It was the main one that had the wall, since on top of it there is a building in the form of a tower.

The door is 14th century and opens through a segmental arch inside the town, while towards the exterior it has a pointed arch. Between both is the groove along which the door that closed the town was lowered. On top of the segmental arch is a recess with the image of San Juan.

According to legend, St. John the Baptist arrived in three stages from Bermeo Port to Gaztelugatxe Hermitage. Each one left a mark; the first one can be seen under the arch of the Portal de San Juan.

Impressive viewpoint located in the high part of the town. From here you can see from Izaro Island to Matxitxako Cape. On clear days, you can even make out the mountains of Lapurdi. Each lookout had its person in charge who was chosen by the guild of fishermen and had to perform the following duties: weather forecasts, observation and location of whales and fish, as well as give information on the boats that were arriving at the port.

The park is in a quiet place and has a peaceful atmosphere. In summer it hosts popular festivals: in mid-August marmitako is prepared with fresh Spanish white tuna and at the patron saint festivals “stew day” is held, which is attended by many people.

At the same park, looking out to sea, you can stop to gaze at the beautiful sculpture made by the sculptor Nestor Basterretxea of the painter Benito Barrueta, both from Bermeo.

Santa Eufemia Church

It is the oldest church in Bermeo and also has the unique feature of being a court church, where regional lords would make government decisions. It was likely built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the late 15th century. Located between the two ports of Bermeo, it is known as the church of the port. As for its architectural style, it is Gothic, has a single nave, with the choir at one end and the polygonal apse at the front, and with two side chapels. Its tower was erected in 1783 from a dome adorned with pinnacles, according to the design of the master Gabriel Kapelastegi.

You can visit during mass hours: Weekdays: at 12 Sundays and holidays: at 13:00

Throughout the Bermeo sightseeing tour, you can admire numerous sculptures, many of them by the Bermeo born artist Nestor Basterretxea. Some of the works include the series “Basque Cosmogony” in Lamera Park, the enormous work “Olatua” in the port, in the cloister of the Franciscan convent a set of 5 steals worked by the artist; or the monument honouring Benito Barrueta in the Atalaya park. From other artists we find “La lechera”, “Las vendedoras de pescado”, and the ensemble “Ya viene” by local sculptor Enrique Zubia, “El Regreso” by Casto Solano, “Xixili”, a character in Basque mythology…

Bermeo and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Some links on this page may be affiliate links. That means if you follow one, see something you like, and purchase it, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you. For more information, see this site's disclosures .

Bermeo and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe make for an excellent side trip from Bilbao or the Camino del Norte. No car? No problem, you can reach Bermeo by train from Bilbao or Gernika. From there, hop on a bus to Bakio or San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.

I fell in love with Basque Country within hours of arriving there to walk the Camino del Norte. The people, the landscapes, the food – everything was just perfect, and it remains one of my favorite places on this big, beautiful planet. As I walked, I wondered about all of the other spectacular hikes and charming towns that surely existed beyond the Camino. 

Nowhere to sleep in Gernika? Take a little detour to Bermeo!

Walking over the Semana Santa holiday in April, I found myself in a bit of a pickle with accommodation options. In a lucky twist of fate (a last-minute cancellation?), a room appeared on Easter Sunday – not exactly where I needed to be, but close enough! It was in a little coastal town called Bermeo, an hour and a half from Bilbao, and just over 20 minutes from Gernika by train. 

Bermeo turned out to be the perfect little detour from the Camino. It was charming, with a scenic harbor and winding cobblestone streets made for wandering. I went on a long walk from nearby Bakio beach to the visually arresting San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and back to Bermeo. 

I later read a lot of chatter online, especially in the peak summer months, about the lack of beds in Gernika for people walking the Camino del Norte. Some people continued another 5.5 kilometers to Pozueta. Some just ended up sleeping outside. Others gave up and got on a train to Bilbao. 

If you’re walking the Camino and find yourself with nowhere to sleep in Gernika, have a quick look in Bermeo. It’s close, it’s beautiful, and you won’t regret the side trip. 

Is Bermeo worth visiting?

Bermeo is absolutely worth visiting, whether you are looking for a day or overnight trip from Bilbao or taking a detour from the Camino del Norte. It is a charming town with lots of history, beautiful buildings, and (like everywhere in Basque Country) good food.

From Bermeo, you can easily visit the breathtaking Gaztelugatxe, a small island connected to the coast by a long stone bridge. Gaztelugatxe was made famous by Game of Thrones, but it’s worth visiting regardless of whether you’re a fan of the series. The island, with the small chapel of San Juan perched above dramatic, rocky coastline, makes for a stunning sight.

You can make a nice day of it, walking from Bakio beach, about 20 minutes away from Bermeo by bus, to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and the Matxitxako lighthouse. 

Read on for more details about the best things to do in and around Bermeo, Spain.

Relax on the Bermeo beach (and nearby Bakio Beach)

Bermeo itself has a small beach just north of town. Bakio, another popular seaside town just 20-30 minutes along the coast by bus, has a much longer and more spacious beach. 

Playa de Aritzatxu, the closest beach to Bermeo

The only beach in Bermeo is the small but beautiful Playa de Aritzatxu . To reach it, walk north up Bermeo’s hilly streets to Matxitxako Bidea. This is the main road leading to Bakio and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe from Bermeo.

At the intersection where this road meets Aritzatxu Bidea, another main thoroughfare running north-south in Bermeo’s town proper, there is a narrow lane through a grassy park leading towards a cemetery. If you follow it around the cemetery walls, you will see a small path on the left. This will lead you down to Aritzatxu beach. 

Bisgane Hondartza, or Playa de Bakio (Bakio Beach)

As the beach in Bermeo itself is quite small, it will likely be packed if you’re visiting in the summer. A better option is nearby Playa de Bakio. This is a long and wide stretch of sand with plenty of space to spread out. 

To get to Bakio beach, you can hop on one of the hourly buses from Bermeo to Gaztelugatxe and Bakio. These buses leave from the bus stop in front of Lamera Park, right next to the harbor. (I recommend checking with your accommodation or the tourist information center for an up-to-date bus schedule. They run less frequently in the low season.)

The ride takes under half an hour and gives you beautiful glimpses of the ocean and Basque countryside.

Visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe from Bermeo or Bakio

The small hermitage of San Juan, sitting dramatically on Gaztelugatxe island just off the coast in the Bay of Biscay, is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Basque Country.

If you are a Game of Thrones fan, you may recognize it as the location of Dragonstone castle. (I have to confess that I’m one of those people who has never seen the show and had to Google this.)

You can visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe between 8:00 and 20:00. (That means you must physically be off the island by 20:00; you can’t show up at 19:55 and wander around.) Tickets are free, but you still have to reserve them to visit Gaztelugatxe during high season, long weekends, and holidays. 

You can reserve tickets online , and note that this must be done before noon the day prior to your visit. You will receive a reservation for a specific time; you must enter within an hour of that time or the reservation will be cancelled. Note that they are quite strict about this. In the event you’re running late, you can try calling or emailing the ticket office.

If you can’t make it, make sure you cancel your ticket via the cancellation link in your confirmation email. If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to make another reservation for a year . I am not sure how strictly this is enforced, but I wouldn’t chance it. There is also a ticket window at the entrance, but there is no guarantee you’ll be able to enter without a reservation. 

There are buses that run regularly between Bermeo, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, and Bakio. Another option is to just walk! 

Walk from Bakio to Bermeo

I spent a lovely day walking from Bakio to Bermeo, stopping to admire San Juan de Gaztelugatxe on the way. 

To do this, first take a bus from Bermeo to Bakio as described above . Before my walk, I got some lunch in Bakio and spent about half an hour relaxing and watching people surf. 

Bakio to Gaztelugatxe

To reach Gaztelugatxe from Bakio, you’ll start by heading back up the road you came down on the bus.

You won’t stay on it for long. Just past the end of the beach, there is a smaller road that branches off to the left. Head that way, and you’ll continue walking along the coast. There are a few little side paths where you can get closer to the ocean and even see San Juan de Gaztelugatxe peeking out above the cliffs in the distance. 

There is a fairly long, steep hill to climb (pictured above, on the right). The good news is it’s the only one of the day, and it’s really no big deal if you’ve spent the past week on the Camino del Norte. Near the top, there is a maze of paths through the forest leading to various lookout points over Gaztelugatxe.

It’s only about two and a half kilometers from Bakio beach to the recreational area above Gaztelugatxe. Here, there is a restaurant , a beer garden, and lots of grassy space with great views over the ocean. (There are also free public restrooms if you pass the restaurant and head up the hill for another minute or two.) 

The ticket office and entrance to Gaztelugatxe are in front of the restaurant. From there, it’s about a 20 minute walk downhill to the stone bridge leading to the island and chapel. 

Gaztelugatxe to Bermeo, via the Matxitxako lighthouse

When you’re ready to continue to Bermeo, you can walk east through the recreational area (instead of walking on the main road).

Just before the gravel path meets the main highway between Bermeo and Bakio, there is a parking area with a few picnic tables. When you get here, you’re nearly at the path to Matxitxako lighthouse. Walk along the main road for just a few minutes, and you’ll see it on your left.

The lighthouse is about 15 minutes away along a scenic path. Here you’ll have yet another angle on Gaztelugatxe in the distance – your last views of it for the day. 

Road walking the final section… 

It’s about 6.5 kilometers from Matxitxako lighthouse to the Bermeo harbor. The first 2.5 kilometers follow a quiet forest road with little traffic. Still, people do drive down to look at the lighthouse, so you should be careful. This road has no shoulder, so be very alert (I would not recommend listening to music, for example) and step off the road if you hear a vehicle coming in either direction. 

Once this route joins the main road linking Bakio, Gaztelugatxe, and Bermeo, you have to be even more careful. The route has a few big curves and hardly any space on the shoulder. There are also more cars and buses traveling between the towns. 

I walked all the way from Bakio to Bermeo in April. I really enjoyed it and found this forested part very peaceful; I loved listening to the trees creak and sway in the wind.

However, it was Easter weekend, and I did occasionally feel like I was one reckless driver away from disaster. People do walk and cycle the route regularly, so I think the bus drivers know to keep their eyes peeled and look out for us. I’m not so sure about holidaymakers from other parts of the country (and the world). 

… Or just take the bus. 

I’m not sure I would recommend walking the final section, from the Matxitxako lighthouse to Bermeo, during peak tourist season. I think I would just be too worried about the traffic.

The walk was certainly nice, and I’m glad I did it, but I wouldn’t say it was spectacular. In my opinion, there are much nicer walks in Basque Country. (If you’re walking the Camino, you’ll have already hiked several of them. If not, the number one hike on your list should be the Ruta del Flysch between Zumaia and Deba.) 

I think if I were to visit again, I’d probably turn back around and catch the bus to Bermeo from the top of the lighthouse path. This would depend on the weather and the bus schedule, though! If you’re going to be waiting for an hour, you may as well just walk. (Remember there are some picnic tables a bit further back, though, just before the path from Gaztelugatxe meets the main road. Not a bad place to wait!) 

Wander around Bermeo’s Old Town

In my opinion, Bermeo is a charming little town worth visiting in its own right – not just as a jumping off point for nearby attractions! 

There are informational plaques scattered throughout the old town explaining its history. Points of interest include the Arco de San Juan, the only remaining arch from Bermeo’s medieval walls, the neoclassical Iglesia de Santa María , and the 13 th  century Iglesia de Santa Eufemia . 

The Ercilla Tower dates to the 15 th  century and was still used as a residence up until the middle of the 20 th . Now, the building is a national monument and home to the Fisherman’s Museum .

Around Bermeo’s old port, you can admire modern sculptures, walk the breakwater, or simply sit yourself down at one of the many bars and cafes to enjoy a meal and the view. 

How to get from Bilbao to Bermeo

Traveling from Bilbao to Bermeo is straightforward using the Basque Country’s excellent Euskotren train service. From Casco Viejo station in Bilbao, you can take the E4 train directly to Bermeo. (Note that the Casco Viejo station is also called Zazpikaleak, its Basque name, on the Euskotren website.) The journey takes an hour and 20 minutes and costs just €3.40.

Getting from Gernika (Guernica) to Bermeo

The small city of Gernika (written as Guernica in Castellano) is most well known for the horrific air raid by German and Italian forces that decimated the town in 1937. (Many people will recognize the name as the title of Pablo Picasso’s most famous work . The painting, housed in the Reina Sofía museum in Madrid, depicts the violence and suffering of the bombing.)

Nowadays, tourists visit Gernika for its various museums and cultural centers. It’s also a common stopping point for pilgrims on the Camino del Norte (typically after Stage 5 or 6). 

As I mentioned previously, Bermeo and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe make for a wonderful detour from the Camino , if you can spare the time in your walking schedule. 

The best place to deviate from the route is Gernika, as it’s less than half an hour from Bermeo by train. You can take the same train, E4, as you would take from Bilbao. A one-way train ticket from the train station in Gernika costs €1.80 and takes just 23 minutes.
