One of my favorite parts of Bilbao is having numerous spots to explore within about an hour of the city. Recently, we took an autumn drive to Elantxobe, an old fisherman´s village located on the bay. Elantxobe (or Elanchove, in Castillian) derives its name from the prized Basque seafood fished there: the anchovy. The town is stunning in its simplicity, with quiet alleyways and steep cobblestoned roads leading down to the port. It provides the perfect amount of solace and ocean air for those days you long to get out of the city.
Buen viaje!
