  • Through the origins of Las Arenas: This dramatised guided tour will show us how Las Arenas was transformed from a marsh into a holiday resort for the middle classes. 
  • A cemetery with a sea view: This guided tour will enable you to admire one of the foremost examples of funerary architecture in Bizkaia. The layout of this cemetery in a neoclassical style refects a typically Roman influence.

  • Along the old Royal Highway: This dramatised guided tour includesd one of Getxo's prettiest and most popular promenades, Basagoiti Avenue.
  • Getxo from its origins: This tour will alos reveal all the secrets of this once rural neighbourhood. We will end up on the cliffs at La Galea, overlooking one of the most beautiful and characteristic views of Getxo.

In Bilbao 

  • Old Town. The Old Town is one of the most traditional areas of Bilbao. The streets and cobbled squares maintain the essence of the city’s Medieval roots. It was once the heart of the trade and port operations that led to the expansion of the city. It is home to such historical features as the Gothic cathedral of Santiago, the Plaza Nueva square, the church of San Antón and the La Ribera riverside produce market. 
  • Ensanche-Abandoibarra. These areas are symbolic of the expansion of Bilbao as a city and the architecture that marked its development. They are a veritable museum of architecture filled with open air sculptures.
