Experience: Gernika, Roots of Euskadi

Itinerary

Interspersed with interesting anecdotes, we’ll show you the town in a different way and you’ll be able to see places that would otherwise be inaccessible to you. This is the itinerary:

The church of Santa Maria: Here we will climb up to church’s triforium or interior gallery
The exterior of the Assembly House:
- In days gone by, inhabitants of the so-called “Bocineros” or “Horn” mountains would blow on their horns to call the general assemblies. And today that’s just what we’re going to do!
- We will also emulate the swearing-in of the Lehendakari, reading words spoken by the first Lehendakari, written on a parchment in four languages.
Pasealekua: The story of the bombing
The Pasealeku air-raid shelter:
- A simulation of the bombing: just for a minute we turn the lights off and listen to the sound of bombs exploding.
