Hidden gems and views to Bilbao

A local favorite that shows a different side of riding out of the city. The route leaves central Bilbao and heads straight into the hills, with the climb to Larreineta (or la Reineta) as the main feature, marked by a series of tight hairpins.

From there, it explores the mountains around the city through forests, quiet secondary roads, and a mix of rural and urban bike paths, creating a small countryside escape without ever going far from Bilbao.
