Urdaibai

Busturialdea-Urdaibai awakens to tourism. The restlessness and initiative of people to learn about our vital space and the venture of institutions and its inhabitants to value the resources of the territory, make us aware of our natural and cultural heritage. The beauty of the place is also an ingredient that is implicit in everyday life.

The Tree of Gernika, the Oka river estuary with the wave of Mundaka ahead, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the Cantabrian Holm-Oak Groves, Gernika Jai Alai, the polychrome wood vault of San Andrés de Ibarrangelu, even the observatories or Matxitxako; these are just some of the important resources that the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and Busturialdea have to offer.

Along with the small and picturesque towns that humanize the landscape, these values and resources are remnants of the elements that differentiate Urdaibai.
