In recent years, Bermeo has seen a rise in tourism, thanks in part to the international fame of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, which has brought greater visibility to the town. Local authorities have made efforts to improve infrastructure and public spaces, including the renovation of the historic port area and improvements to the town’s cultural venues.
Sustainability is also a key focus for Bermeo, especially given its location within the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. The town has implemented various eco-friendly initiatives, such as waste reduction programs and efforts to protect the marine environment. Urban renewal projects are underway to preserve Bermeo’s historical charm while also accommodating the needs of a growing tourism industry.
These developments, combined with the town’s cultural and natural offerings, make Bermeo an increasingly attractive destination for visitors and event organizers alike.
