#### Look out across the Bay of Biscay from cliff-top towns and fishing villages or find shrines among the verdant valleys in this province on the Basque Coast.

Gipuzkoa is a historic area of coastal grandeur in northern Spain, where centuries-old churches, heritage mansions and cultural landmarks overlook the shores of the Cantabrian Sea. Explore sleepy seaside villages or go surfing on the ocean swell.

Check out Gipuzkoa’s interior to experience the natural beauty of the region’s mountains and valleys. Interspersed with ancient basilicas, fascinating shrines and scenic nature reserves, this rugged landscape has been revered by its inhabitants for centuries and has plenty to reveal to those who explore its dramatic scenery.

The province’s capital, Donostia-San Sebastián, is an exciting waterfront city. You’ll soon discover why it was awarded European Capital of Culture in 2016 when you explore its historic downtown. Visit the San Telmo Museum to learn about prehistoric and contemporary Basque culture. Check out the 16th-century San Vicente Church or the Basilica of Santa Maria, which was completed in 1774\. Make your way to the Playa la Concha to experience one of the city’s renowned beaches. Stroll along the golden sands or rent a surfboard to get amongst the waves. For a scenic viewpoint across the city, make your way up Mount Igueldo via the funicular railway.

Go on a road trip along the Basque Coastline and check out Zarautz, Getaria, Hondarribia and Mutriku. Head inland to explore the Basque Country’s gorgeous mountain scenery. Mountain biking is a popular pursuit in Aiako Harria Natural Park, while Aralar Natural Park is renowned for its hiking and climbing trails. Find Romanesque and Baroque shrines amid the foothills in Azpeitia or discover prehistoric Basque paintings in the Ekain Cave.

Gipuzkoa is easy to access via international airports in San Sebastián and Bilbao. MUGI cards provide discounted public transit prices in Gipuzkoa. You can also explore the wider region with a rental car to discover its hidden treasures. The region has a moderate climate, with summer bringing ideal conditions for its gorgeous beaches and outdoors adventures. In September, you can experience the glamor of the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
