Private Albaolabike Tour

If you are a lover of the sea and want to know more about how it has influenced Basque society, this is the guided tour for you.

With the help of our Orbea electric bikes, and with the company of a local guide, you will reach the port of Pasajes, where we will visit Albaola The Sea Factory of the Basques, a living museum where you will learn all about whaling and its importance in the Basque Country.

An essential plan to get to know the surroundings of San Sebastian in a different way.

    This experience will immerse us in the lives of those who, throughout history, made the sea much more than just their profession, but rather a way of life. We will pass by the Monument to Aita Mari, the Basque Maritime Museum and the Aquarium.

  3. 2

    Paseo Nuevo

    10 min

    View details

    At this point in the tour, it is well worth taking a break, stopping pedalling to enjoy the views of La Concha Bay and its pearl, the island of Santa Clara. But just as we cannot imagine the Basque Country without the sea, neither can we imagine it without iron, and of course without the great artists that this land produced in the 20th century, so take a moment to contemplate Jorge Oteiza’s Empty Construction.

  4. 3

    Zurriola Bridge

    10 min

    View details

    For many years, the Urumea River was navigable, connecting San Sebastián with the interior of the region. This bridge was built in an attempt to link the Central District with Gros.

    Intxaurrondo

    15 min

    View details

    The vast majority of the city’s outlying neighbourhoods were nothing more than a large expanse of land dominated by a handful of baserris (Basque farmhouses), and today some of these neighbourhoods are named after those farmhouses. This is the case in the neighbourhood of Intxaurrondo (Walnut Tree).
