Although it is not easy to spot this species in the Basque Country, there are several locations where it is commonly seen. During this tour, we\u2019ll travel by 4&#215;4 to the observation area and then hike to a very special hide. Our guide has been observing this pair for over a decade, so he knows all their quirks. From this spot, we can observe wild eagles at a very close distance\u2014in some cases, just 15 meters away. This experience allows us to observe their behavior, their flight, and their presence in a completely natural setting.     <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-180584\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/avistamiento-de-aguilas-reales-en-euskadi-pareja-de-aguilas-reales.jpg\" alt=\"Golden eagle sighting in the Basque Country, a pair of golden eagles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/avistamiento-de-aguilas-reales-en-euskadi-pareja-de-aguilas-reales.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/avistamiento-de-aguilas-reales-en-euskadi-pareja-de-aguilas-reales-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/avistamiento-de-aguilas-reales-en-euskadi-pareja-de-aguilas-reales-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video\"><\/span><strong>V\u00eddeo.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div style=\"margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;\" class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>As is customary with all our posts, we\u2019ve created a short video to give you as realistic a glimpse as possible of the golden eagle sighting.
