Sanctuary Of Loyola, Getaria, Zarautz & San Sebastian Full Day Tour

Depart from your centrally located hotel in Bilbao and climb aboard a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. Enjoy the spectacular scenery as you venture into the rural province of Gipuzkoa, noting the contrast industrial villages make with verdant valleys. Arrive at the picturesque Sanctuary of Loyola, a provincial gem home to the Saint Ignatius of Loyola; visit the beautiful Basilica and his former home before departing for the next destination. Follow the winding coastal road and pass through the village of Zestoa, an enclave famed for the medicinal qualities of its waters. Reach Getaria and disembark the minivan to explore the impressive monuments of the medieval fishing village, which was home to famous figures such as Juan Sebastian Elcano (the first man to travel the world by sea) and designer Cristobal Balendiaga. Next, admire the blissful beachfront views of Zarauz on the way to the city of San Sebastian. Accompanied by your knowledgeable guide, complete a panoramic tour of the city in order to gain insight into its culture and history; wander the charming old quarter and visit significant sights before returning to Bilbao in the early evening.
