Rock Climbing in Bilbao: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

The main cities of the Basque Country, including Bilbao, are surrounded by the beautiful Basque Mountains that are part of the Cantabrian Mountain Range.

Although the highest point is only 1551 meters high (in the Aizkorri massif), Bilbao and all its surroundings offer impressive green and rugged landscapes, with limestone and granite elevations, vast forests, rivers and waterfalls that make it a perfect area for rock climbing, no matter your physical or technical level.

Ria del Nervión

Bilbao extends along the Ria del Nervión, which was the main factor in the industrialization process that took place in the area between the 19th and 20th centuries. This route has become the backbone of Bilbao.

Mix of modernity and history

In your visit to Bilbao you can explore from sites of more than 700 years in its historic center, to the most modern architectural constructions. The Bilbao Arena, the Iberdrola Tower, the Pedro Arrupe Footbridge or the Salve Bridge, are some must-see points.

Unique environment

If you want to have privileged views of the entire city from above, get on the funicular of Mount Artxanda, from which you will see a perfect landscape of the mountains and its connection with the urban skyline.

Spring and Summer (from March to September)

Bilbao has pleasant summers (which attracts many tourists) and long cold winters. Temperatures usually vary from 5°C to 24°C during the year.

Euro

Spanish is the official language but in Bilbao you can also find locals that speak Catalan, Galician and, of course, Basque.

Bilbao is a communications center between the north of the Iberian Peninsula with the rest of Spain. Therefore, it has options for cars, buses, trains, airplanes and ferries.
