Forget long journeys with layovers and enjoy a direct flight that places you in the heart of Biscay in record time, allowing you to make the most of every minute of your stay.

Flights depart from the main terminal of Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) and land at Bilbao Airport (BIO), popularly known as "La Paloma" for its iconic design. Both airports have excellent connections and services to make your transit agile and hassle-free.

Once in Bilbao, a city that has managed to reinvent itself awaits you, joining its industrial past with the avant-garde of the Guggenheim Museum. Don't miss the opportunity to walk through the Seven Streets of the Old Town (Casco Viejo) and taste the famous pintxos that make this city a world reference for cuisine.

How to get to Gran Canaria Airport

Gran Canaria Airport is very well connected with the main centers of the island, such as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the tourist areas in the south.

By bus (Global)

The Global company offers several lines connecting the airport. Line 60 links the capital (Las Palmas de GC) directly with the airport, while lines 66 and 91 connect with southern areas such as Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés. It is an economical and efficient way to reach your flight.

By taxi

Taxi service is available throughout the island 24 hours a day. It is the most comfortable option if you are traveling with a lot of luggage or from points less connected by the bus network. The journey from the capital usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

By private car

If you decide to travel in your own vehicle, the airport has official short and long-stay car parks located in front of the terminal. Access is easily made via the GC-1 motorway, which forms the backbone of the island from north to south.

How to get around Bilbao by public transport

Once you land in Bilbao, you will discover that the city and its metropolitan area have one of the best public transport systems in Europe.

How to pay for transport in Bilbao

• Barik Card: This is the most recommended option. It is a rechargeable contactless card that allows you to travel by metro, bus (Bilbobus and Bizkaibus), tram, and train at reduced rates.
• Single ticket: It can be purchased at station vending machines or on board the tram and buses, although the price is higher than using the Barik.
• Bilbao Bizkaia Card: Ideal for tourists, it includes unlimited transport and museum entries for a period of 24, 48, or 72 hours.

Main means of transport

• Metro Bilbao: Designed by Norman Foster, it connects the center with both banks of the estuary and nearby beaches quickly and cleanly.
• Bizkaibus (Line A3247): This is the bus that connects the airport with the city center (Termibus) with intermediate stops at key points such as Gran Vía.
• Tram (Euskotran): A scenic way to tour the city, passing by the Guggenheim Museum and the Euskalduna Palace.
• Bilbobus: The red urban buses that reach all the city's neighborhoods where the metro does not reach.
