Finally! I have been waiting for this piece of news for a very long time: an Easyjet flight will link Bristol to Bilbao (Basque Country) next spring!
Today, 10th December 2014, Easyjet has announced that the Bilbao - Bristol route will be back in business starting 19th April 2015 after ten-ish years since it disappered. Instead of travelling to Heathrow (Vueling), Manchester or Stansted (both Easyjet), we will be able to travel to Bilbao faster and in a more comfortable way.
It will be a year around service flying twice a week, Monday and Sunday. Prices will start from 30.99 pounds one-way. So now, dear friends, there is no excuse to visit my beloved Basque Country!
Visit the iconic Guggenheim museum, have some tasty artistic "pintxos" in the bars around the historical Casco Viejo, watch a football match of the basque Athletic Club team at the brand new San Mames Barria stadium, listen to some classical music at the Euskalduna palace and walk along the Nervion riverside... or even do some kayaking! There are so many things you could be doing in Bilbao right now... and this is just the beginning! :)
