The towns of Oyon and Bermeo have been connected for centuries thanks to the wine and fish route between the Alaves Rioja region and Bermeo. Long ago fish was transported from Bermeo to Castilla and the same transporters brought back wine to then export from the port.
The route also known as GR38 nowadays is one of the best ways to see the geography of the Basque Country from north to south. Starting off, the first part is in the arid land of vineyards and the seventh and last going through the Urdaibai Estuary, culminating in Bermeo in front of the immense Cantabrian sea. It’s a perfect week long plan to get to know the whole spectrum of our beloved nature, gastronomy, artistic and cultural heritage.
