Nature havens at arm's reach
While Bilbao is the heart of Bizkaia, the nature parks and Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve are Bizkaia’s green lungs
In search for wildlife
Birding and whale watching are recreational activities that give you the chance to observe animals in their natural habitat
Nature at its best
Caves, mounts and valleys filled with magic
In Bizkaia, the seaside, the evergreen hinterland and the futuristic cityscape live in perfect harmony. Your trip will present you with majestic landscapes, soaring mountains sheltered within three nature parks, green valleys and meadows, traditional farmhouses or baserris, vertigo-inducing cliffs and Green Ways.
You will be able to spot a wide variety of native animal species or go beneath the surface for treasure hunting in fabulous caves, wrapped in wonderful tales and legends. And you will be able to climb Mount Gorbeia, at 1481 metres above sea level, where Euskadi meets the sky.
