Aupa! (Hi in the local language) My name is Aitor, but since it is such a common name in the Basque Country (more than 50k men are called Aitor), people call me AitorPi (adding two letters from my family name). I've felt the wanderlust all my life and visited over 20 countries. I love to be shown around the places I go to and that's why I'd love to show my city to you, now that I've settled down a little. Come and see the beauties of Bilbao with me!

Tour description

Discover the Big Week in Bilbao ( Bilboko Aste Nagusia )...

...and experience it as one of the others!

In this special edition free tour we will visit the surroundings of the Arenal, learning about a party that makes the people of Bilbao cut back on their vacations. Nobody wants to miss them! Why will it be?

Get to know the konpartsas, the txosnas, the txupinazo, the Mari Jaia and everything you need to not miss a single breath of this Big Week in Bilbao. Gora Mari Jaia!


On this 1:00/1:30 hour tour we will visit the main areas of Casco Viejo and El Arenal, the center and origin of the Bilbao festivities. We will listen to the most interesting anecdotes and the organizations that each year make the Big Week possible.


For this tour, I recommend you wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The typical blue party scarf is welcome, of course, but optional :)


There will be time for questions, recommendations and tips to enjoy these holidays in the best way.

    To start our tour, look for a boy in a red txapela (Basque beret) and blue party scarf in the square between the Ribera market and the Merced bridge.

How much does this tour cost?

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).

Lo pase super bien en el tour, Aitor nos contó muy bien la historia de la fiesta tipica vasca, a pesar de que una persona externa (borracha) intentó interrumpir el tour muchas veces, Aitor siempre muy profesional consiguió terminar el tour de manera óptima. Muchas gracias Aitor por el tour y las recomendaciones!

Un bon tour per conèixer una mica l'origen de les festes de la "semana grande". Que són les comparses i una mica d'història dels inicis de la festa.
