The average temperature in winter is 13\u00baC maximum and 8\u00baC minimum and in summer 23\u00baC maximum and 17\u00baC minimum. Rainfall is generally abundant throughout the year, especially in the months of October, November and December. The least rainy month is July.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1652689013342\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When is the best time to travel to the Basque Country?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you want to enjoy the sun and the beaches of the Basque Country, the best time to visit is in summer. As we said before, rainfall is abundant practically all year round, so if you want to avoid it, July and August are the best months to visit. However, if you don&#8217;t like to travel in high season, September is also ideal, as temperatures are still pleasant, the beaches are less crowded and rainfall is still not as frequent.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1652689075558\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to get around?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Of course, the most comfortable option is always to travel by car, with no time limits or waiting times. That said, the Basque Country is an area that is well connected by public transport through different bus companies. So if you decide to take a route around the different beaches of the Basque Country you will have no problem travelling by public transport.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=basque-country-beaches&amp;utm_term=2\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign up to passporter for free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-organise-what-to-see-in-the-Basque-Country\"><\/span>How to organise what to see in the Basque Country<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up or download the Passporter App and discover all its useful features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Get inspiration from the experiences of other travellers.<\/li><li>Create your own itinerary and add the app\u2019s suggestions to it.<\/li><li>Add the spots you are most interested in, as well as the restaurants and bars where you want to eat (you can use the points of interest listed in this post as a reference).<\/li><li>Organise your itinerary by days and according to their location (you can take inspiration from the routes presented in the post).<\/li><li>Check the travel budget that the app calculates for you based on your travel stops, restaurants, and leisure activities.<\/li><li>Make the necessary modifications and you are ready for your trip.<\/li><li>Finally, share your experience.
