Discover one of the most authentic traditions of the Basque coast with an experience that will take you to the heart of Bermeo's fishing activity.
You'll start the experience by visiting Bermeo's fish market, where you'll learn up close how this key hub for local fishing activity operates. Accompanied by a guide, you'll discover what happens from the moment the boats return to harbour with their catch until the fish is prepared for sale.
During the visit, you'll learn how the traditional fish auction is organised and how the price of the catch is determined. You'll learn who takes part in the process, how the fish is sold, and the importance that the fish market has had for generations in the life of Bermeo. You'll also get a close-up look at how the auction unfolds and experience first-hand the atmosphere of this place so closely linked to the sea.
As you tour the fish market, your guide will share stories and interesting facts about Bermeo's fishing tradition, its fishermen, and the town's relationship with the Bay of Biscay. It will be an opportunity to discover a side of Bermeo that is usually off the beaten tourist track.
After the visit, you'll head to a local restaurant to enjoy a meal and discover the flavours of Basque cuisine. You'll be able to relax and savour traditional products and dishes in a local setting, rounding off the experience with one of the great stars of Basque culture: its gastronomy.
This experience combines tradition, culture, the sea, and gastronomy so that you can discover Bermeo from a local and authentic perspective, from the workings of its fish market to the flavours that reach the table.
