Treat yourself to a holiday in Barakaldo and be amazed by one of the most beautiful spots in the Basque Country.

If you have a passion for art, you’ll be sure to have a wonderful time with our excellent package deals to Barakaldo, because if this city has one thing to be proud of, it’s the art you’ll find along its streets. Head over to the Ilgner Building, for instance, which dates back to the beginning of the last century and still conserves a real wealth of decorative touches. You’ll be surprised by the way this building combines the utility of the factory it used to house with the magnificent aesthetics it still preserves to this day. Head over to Herriko Plaza, also called Plaza de los Fueros, and take in one of the highlights of the city: the Monument to Industry by Lucas Alcalde and its unique clock tower.

Enjoy our great deals for cheap trips to Barakaldo and take advantage of the opportunity to explore the streets leading from the square and allow yourself to be surprised by the local culture. You’ll soon reach Barakaldo’s Scandinavian style Town Hall, as well as the Barakaldo Theatre, one of the city's main cultural centres. Continue along the Paseo de los Fueros promenade until you reach Bide Onera square, which is home to the Palace of Justice, the Sculpture Park and the metro entrances designed by the architect Norman Foster.

Discover the seafaring and industrial heritage of Barakaldo as you stroll along the banks of the River Nervión, which played a crucial role in the city's development. Come see the Cargadero de Franco Belga vantage point, which offers spectacular views over the estuary. Continue your tour of the natural surroundings and explore the area of El Regato, a place where you can lose yourself in nature and take in all its beauty. You may be surprised to learn that the area was famous for the quality of its cherries, although production has fallen over the years.

Of course, you mustn't leave Barakaldo without first tasting the delicious pintxos that make the local cuisine so famous. You might want to go to Calle Zaballa, for instance, where you can enjoy some food and later go partying. What are you waiting for?

"Brilliant location. Room had a mini bar and was spacious. If coming over from Uk/Ireland, don’t expect Tea/Coffee in the room, that not a done thing in most Spanish hotels. Staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating"
