If this August you want to make a getaway and escape from the sweltering heat, in the Basque Country there are some coastal towns that are very worth visiting , such as Bermeo or FuenterrabÃa, among others. Seafaring villas that preserve the charm of another era and where you can enjoy all kinds of plans.
Zarautz
In the province of Guipúzcoa is Zarautz, one of the most popular holiday destinations in northern Spain . With a beach almost 3 kilometers long, it is home to points of interest such as the Narros Palace, where Queen Elizabeth II spent the summer. One of the best things to do in the town is to walk the 4.5-kilometer promenade that runs along the coast between Zarautz and Guetaria .
Bermeo
The fishing village of Bermeo is one of those places that everyone should know at least once in their life. The old port is the main attraction , and in its day it became the second most important in Vizcaya. To learn first-hand the history of Bermeo, it is advisable to visit the Fisherman’s Museum , located in the 15th-century Torre Ercilla.
FuenterrabÃa
One of the most beautiful coastal towns in the Basque Country is FuenterrabÃa. The old town has a lot of charm, where you can find the most relevant monuments of the town: the Puerta de Santa MarÃa, the Church of Santa MarÃa de la Asunción and del Manzano . The Barrio de la Marina is a typical fishing district with traditional Basque houses.
Lekeitio
If you choose the Basque Country as your destination to enjoy a few days of relaxation and rest, we 100% recommend visiting Lekeitio. The Basilica of the Assumption of Santa MarÃa is the main religious temple of the town , and it really looks like a Gothic-style Cathedral. The old town has a very special charm, with narrow pedestrian streets and traditional houses.
Ondarroa
And, finally, Ondarroa, on the coast of Vizcaya. A beautiful fishing village, halfway between the sea and the mountains . It is also known as the “town of bridges” and it is a wonderful town to rest because it is very quiet. The entire old town has been declared a Monumental Site and Asset of Interest.
These are the most beautiful coastal towns in the Basque Country . This is a small autonomous community, so you can plan a route along the coast to get to know them all.
