Balmaseda is a town in Vizcaya, Basque Country.

A small and charming Basque town near the border with Burgos. Nestled in the mountains, it is an excellent base for exploring the wilderness.

[edit] Get in

• By bus BizkaiBus has service between Bilbao bus terminal and Balmaseda. Balmaseda does not have a bus station, so the drop-off point is the same as the pick-up point.
• By train FEVE runs two trains an hour to and from Bilbao (Santander Station).

[edit] Get around

Balmaseda is small, so walking the the best way to get around.
