Guided tours in Sopela.

Guided tours in Sopela (Sopelana), one of the most visited villages on the Basque coast.

The guided tours of Sopela (formerly Sopelana), allow us to know some of the great secrets of the Basque coast. This town of just over 13,000 inhabitants is located in the Flysch of Bizkaia, one of the stretches with the highest concentration of geological formations of our coastline. Among all the tourist tours we offer, the guided walking tour through the cliffs of Sopela stands out, a very interesting visit that we recommend you to do in any getaway to the Basque coast. Do you dare?

Guided tours on the coast of Sopela.

The cliffs of the coast of Sopela are part of the Flysch of Bizkaia, one of the areas of greatest geological interest in the Basque Country (along with Geoparkea). The visit consists of a 1 hour and 30 minutes walking tour starting from Gorka Yarritu’s surf school. A tour in front of the cliffs, which allows us to discover the limit of a global extinction. Do you dare to discover millions of years of history with us? Remember that this visit is made by our colleagues Barbara and Imanol, geologists experts in ecotourism routes.

Guided tours in the iron belt of Sopela.

The iron belt, the great barrier that defended Bilbao and Bizkaia during the Civil War, has a stretch of trenches and bunkers at the top of the Munarrikolanda range. A small mountain of 255 meters of altitude located between the towns of Berango and Sopela, which we will walk along with a local guide. A perfect visit for history lovers.
