Friday after work, I went to Bakio with my roommate, Jontxu, and two of his friends from work, Igor and Nerea. Bakio is close to Mundaka, but is a more commercialized version. The town of Mundaka is nicer, but the actual beach in Bakio is nicer and much larger. The first thing we did was go to the beach, enjoy some sun on the +30 day and also some of the water. Afterwards, we went to the outskirts of the town to Bar 01, which boasted beautiful views of the mountains while we enjoyed some drinks and pintxos and then went to dinner at the most amazing restaurant on the coast. The atmosphere and views were incredible. Close to the restuarant was San Juan de Gaztelugatxe which, in my opinion, was by far the highlight of Bakio (although, I believe Gaztelugatze may be considered part of Bermeo which is the next municipality). It's a church, well actually a hermitage, situated on top of a island connected to the mainland with rock stairs (almost 300 of them). It's believed to date back to the 11th century and be connected to the Knights Templar. Here is a youtube to give you a better look at it. But be warned, the accompanying music is lame.
Hasta la proximá vez,
Kathlene
