Guides
Planning guides for the choices that shape a Gaztelugatxe visit — access, the walk, and the coast around it.
Getting to Gaztelugatxe from Bilbao and San Sebastián: bus A3527 from Termibus, the Bakio connections, driving the BI-3101 and the three car parks, the two walking routes down, and the tours that include time on the steps.
When you need a free ticket for San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and when you don't, the daily cap of 1,462 visitors, the Urizarreta and Ermu routes, the bridge and the 241 steps, the hermitage at the top and how to plan the walk.
How to build a day around San Juan de Gaztelugatxe: the coast between Bakio and Bermeo, Mundaka and the Urdaibai biosphere reserve, the Casa de Juntas and Tree of Gernika, and the tours from Bilbao and San Sebastián that combine them.
