Strap on your boots and discover Basque Country on foot with the Sunflower Basque Country travel guide which includes 52 long and short walks. On the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our 8 recommended car tours.
The go-to Basque Country walking guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Basque Country on foot with the Sunflower Basque Country travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.
The Sunflower Basque Country guide is indispensable for hiking in Basque Country or seeing Basque Country by car. This is the first guidebook to bring together hikes and tours in the Basque Country, which runs east from Bilbão in Spain to Biarritz in France and takes in famous places like Pamplona and stages on the Camino de Santiago.
The entire Basque coast is mostly very rugged, with many thriving fishing towns and villages, plus the added attraction of splendid beaches. Inland the countryside is more mountainous, with lush green countryside. Don't miss the award-winning Guggenheim Museum in Bilbão, the Pilgrims' Route to Santiago, the San Fermines fiestas at Iruña-Pamplona, or stunning coastal resorts like Donostia-San Sebastián and Biarritz. But most of all, explore the remote picture-postcard villages and lush mountainous countryside straddling both sides of the Pyrenees - preferably on foot.
Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Basque Country.
Inside the Sunflower Basque Country guide book you'll find:
52 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk Topographical walking maps - give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techies Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists 8 car tours and fold-out touring map - for easy reference on your tour Strolls to idyllic picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way Timetables for public transport - ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday Online update service for the latest informationWhether you tour the region by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.
About the Author: Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our 'little blue books' to follow the trails - and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands - from the Azores to Zakynthos - but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our 'Walk & Eat' series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
