The Nervión river becomes your travelling companion, with the Zubizuri bridge looming like an elegant arch, a symbol of Bilbao's modernity. Green parks such as Doña Casilda offer a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The well-developed cycling infrastructure allows you to discover a variety of landscapes, from old mining routes to charming coastal roads. The region's mild climate, neither too hot nor too cold, makes cycling particularly enjoyable all year round.
Prepare yourself for an immersive experience where every detour reveals a new surprise. The city offers a unique blend of industrial heritage, contemporary architecture and Basque traditions. Get on a bike and let your curiosity guide you: the historic cobblestones of Plaza Nueva are already telling you their secrets.
