Anavi met us in Amorebieta and we had a lovely full day excursion starting with the Peace Museum in Gernika, followed by a stroll and an excursion to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. It was great to see Gernika with a guide whose grandmother was there during the bombing and here some of the history of the Biscay region from someone of a Biscay lineage. Anavi was a great teacher for the day even though she was on her weekend break ;). One of the most delicious pintxos I have had in Euskadi, a duck sautee with a sweet berry reduction drizzle....I can't do the name justice, but it was delicious.
We had lovely weather mostly as the pronóstico (or the weather forecast) had been for rain. It was a little clouded over, but did not pour. Anavi was a great guide and fabulous chauffeur. Here are pictures of the tree of Gernika, going through Gaztelugatxe, and the "alrededores". Lovely day, thanks Anavi! And thanks Birgit for the pics!
