On a sunny day take a hike through the mountainous areas that surround and protect Bermeo. There are perfect places to go Nordic Walking with different difficulty levels.

At the Franciscan convent we come across some of the Basque Country’s oldest and best preserved cloisters. Here we can enjoy three works of Bermeos own honored sculptor, Nestor Basterretxea.

Shopping locally in Bermeo is both pleasant and gratifying. The retailers are friendly, welcoming people. You can count on a great service sector and all kinds of shops that will help make your stay smoother.

You can also find shops where you can buy products related to local identity such as the typical products of Euskal Herria in Geuzetxuek, the pastry shop Gaztelugatxe and its San Juanen Oinatzak, the butter buns from the Atela pastry shop, the handmade ceramics from Buztin or sailor style fashion from FBNautic.

The canneries on the outskirts of town sell to the shops directly, who then can offer the luxury of providing the best products, recently produced.

The local producers sell their products daily, and some of them have been selling in the same stall for decades. This tradition is one that we make an effort to conserve, and for this, along with the high quality of the products, we highly recommend visiting the market especially Tuesdays and Saturdays. The market is open daily from 9am-2pm.

Going bar to bar drinking small glasses of wine with friends is one of the most deeply rooted customs in the Basque Country. While this activity is often done on weekends and on holidays, the classic “txikiteros” (people who drink small glasses of wine) have a route that they go on daily.

The people of Bermeo are known to be happy, funny people. Don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation or to ask questions with the locals.

Navigating the sea is a great idea for spending the day along the coast, enjoying the beautiful strong Basque coast. Sailing just meters away from natural wonders such as Izaro, Ogoño, Akatx, Gaztelugatxe, Matxitxako and the Urdaibai Estuary.

The main attractions can be seen in approximately one hour and is a great option for people who unfortunately have to see things in a hurry.
