Guernica is in easy reach of Bilbao, the provincial capital of Vizcaya, and also has train and bus connections to San Sebastian, and the coastal resort of Bermeo, 14km to the north.
The picturesque fishing village of Elantxobe, perched at the foot of sheer cliffs, is another short bus ride away, and as a bonus, you can watch the bus being spun around on a turntable before it can make its journey back up the narrow cliff-face road.
Other nearby beaches are at Mundaka and Lekeitio
