2023 Spain Trip – Sabbatical II – Plentzia/Gorliz

Relaxation: Plentzia and Gorliz on the Bay of Biscay

Plentzia and Gorliz, two charming suburbs of Bilbao, share a beautiful beach on the Bay of Biscay. This region in the Basque Country is known for its unique culture, vibrant traditions, and excellent cuisine – from fresh fish to tender Iberian pork.

The Bay of Biscay provides a stunning backdrop with green hills in the distance and the ever-changing North Atlantic. This diverse landscape creates a relaxed atmosphere that one enjoys anew with each visit.

For me personally, it’s a simple pleasure to dip my feet into the North Atlantic. The refreshing water and salty breeze offer a pleasant refreshment.

The shared beach of Plentzia and Gorliz impresses with its fine sand and clear water. It’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or leisurely strolls along the promenade. The rugged, gently sloping coast with granite cliffs gives the place a distinctive beauty.

Plentzia and Gorliz offer a laid-back and inspiring environment in equal measure. The combination of impressive nature and lively culture makes them true gems in the Basque Country. Here, one finds peace and relaxation in the midst of an enchanting landscape.
