Very cool excursions to do with children on Basque Country (December)
December is approaching. It will be five days of rest, but also a free time that we can take advantage of to take small family excursions near Bilbao.
If the weather is good, we suggest several destinations to go with boys and girls where you can enjoy leisure time with your family and outdoors. Get to know the tradition, magic and art that these corners hide and take note of the following proposals:
Visit the enchanted forest of Egileor
Aitor Gorospe is the creator of this small magical world that you can find on the path that connected Agurain with the Iturrieta mountain range. This path, known as Senda de los Frailes, was a route that the friars used to use more than a hundred years ago.
It is a dirt route of easy difficulty, so it is suitable for all audiences. Through it we will access a magical path where we will find forest creatures. Boys and girls will enjoy looking for the different characters in the forest: witches, small fantastic beings and their little mushroom-shaped houses, little forest animals or a giant cyclops that will amaze and surprise the little ones through a route full of surprises. Do not miss it!

A walk through the Oma Forest
It is now possible to visit El Bosque de Oma, one of the best-known works of the Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola. The landscape and nature are the framework and support to transfer art to the natural environment. The forest is made up of several sets of geometric figures that have been painted on the trunk of radiata pines. Boys and girls will enjoy the game of placing themselves at different points in the landscape and discovering the different proposals that the artist proposes.
Remember that, whether you take the free visit or choose the guided tour, in both cases you must pre-book your ticket.
