The celebration of the first stage will leadto the closure of streets, restrictions on parking and changes in pedestrian and cycling mobility in almost all districts, especially in Artxanda, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña and Casco Viejo, so the City Council recommends avoiding private vehicles and using public transport, preferably by train, metro or tram.

Most affected areas:

  • Artxanda
  • Deusto.
  • Uribarri
  • Begoña
  • Old town (Town Hall and Arenal)

Public transport:

  • Bilbobus and Bizkaibus will change their usual routes and stations and place information on marquees, information panels, mobile apps and official social networks.
  • Citizens can consult specific information through 010, on the official traffic channels of the Basque Government, on the web trafikoa.euskadi.eus and on the account of the social network X  @TrafikoaEJGV.

The Basque Government coordinates the security and assistance system with 300 Ertzaintza officers and municipal police.

The Itzulia Basque Country 2026 will continue until 11 Aprilwith stages that will cross the Basque Country and part of Navarre, where new traffic restrictions and punctual closures on different roads and highways are envisaged, depending on the times of each stage.
