Less than six miles north of Bilbao you will find Derio, a quiet town of imposing buildings, magnificent sports facilities and green meadows.

Take a getaway to Derio and explore every corner of the most iconic building in the municipality, the Seminario. The construction of this peculiar building, designed as a hospital by the local architect Diego Basterra, began in 1932, but was interrupted by the war. Until the 1950s, the great structure was not completed, when it was finally used as a diocesan seminary. Today it houses a hotel, restaurants, different service companies and sports venues.

Reserve a Derio flight plus hotel package and visit two local churches. The first is the baroque church of San Cristóbal, around which the old town grew in the 10th century. Inside is an ornate font dating from 1745 and a collection of beautiful images. The second is the parish church of San Isidro, a neo-Romanesque building from 1958. This is currently considered to be the main local church.

The Vista Alegre Cemetery is another of the places of interest to include in your agenda when you search for Cheap holidays to Derio. Its architectural and heritage value make this cemetery, consecrated in 1902 and featuring up to 29 different building styles, one of the most outstanding in Spain. We strongly recommend you to take a guided tour of this extensive site.

The caseríos or traditional Basque stone farmhouses complete the list of Derio's attractions, underlining the town's rural roots. Today, two examples of these fine buildings are Gaztañaga and Gaztañaga Goikoa. The oldest is the centenary Larrabarri farmhouse, which currently serves as the town's cultural centre.

Travelling to Derio is very easy, even by plane, as the town is next to Bilbao airport. It also has a station where the Txorierri line of the Euskotren Trena train service passes through, as well as several urban and inter-urban bus stops. Take advantage of this magnificent transport offer with a Derio getaway package and leave your worries behind.
