Lekeitio Old Town and Basilica

Highlight • Settlement

Lekeitio is a vibrant and prosperous fishing village famous throughout the Basque Country and Spain. The traditional quality of its fishing, its gastronomy and its beaches live up to its fame. On the clean sand of its beaches and the beauty of its historic quarter, the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady stands out, original from the 15th century and in Gothic style. Lekeitio has a great cycling atmosphere as it is frequented by Basque fans who frequent the coast by bicycle.

View from the Balcón de Bizkaia

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Balcony of Bizkaia is the viewpoint from which to enjoy the most mountainous landscape of the Urdaibai basin. Located on the slopes of the Oiz, the balcony of Bizkaia is an emblematic enclave from where you can see the forest mass of the area in all its breadth. There is a legend that tells that this place was a place where the witches met when night fell.
The complete ascent from Lekeitio is 21 kilometers but everything gets more interesting in the last 7 kilometers (this section), in which you will ascend from 123 meters above sea level to 423.

Alto de Muniketa (Montecalvo)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Montecalvo is located at an altitude of 381 meters, offering impressive views of the sea and Urdaibai on one side and Duranguesado on the other. The Muniketa road was the main communication route south through Durango until 1848, when the Autzagane road was improved.

Muxika town centre

Highlight • Settlement

It is located between the Oiz and Bizkargi massifs, and is the largest municipality in the entire region. Its neighborhoods, scattered among green mountains, keep a valuable cultural and historical heritage. It is worth visiting the small neighborhood of Unda, for its medieval farmhouses. In San Román is the emblematic 16th-century Muxika tower-house and the beautiful San Román hermitage, a Romanesque building and a magnificent example of rural religious architecture. In Maguna, Maume, Gorozika or Ajuria, the magnificent natural and rural environment stands out.
