- Leaving Bilbao Akelarre Hostel • Arriving at Elantxobe

Elantxobe

The rocky Hillside that forms the Ogoño Cape protects the fishing port of Elantxobe and concedes to this little town from its peculiar sloppy form. That way, this “balcony” village that is hanging from the mountain, is formed by a cascade of steep, narrow streets that offer a spectacular view of all the roofs of the houses. It looks like a stairway that gets to the seashore.

Ea

This little town is being crammed by the estuary of the river Ea, with the houses all lined up and parallel to the river and a bridge that permits you to cross to see the entire village. The beach stands protected at the bottom of the drowned valley, which leaves the beach without water when the tide goes out.

Precisely, that urban beach is one of the main characters of this town. It is a pretty small beach, with 60 metres length and 80 metres wide. It is a really enjoyable beach, with thin sand and surrounded by huge rocks.

Lekeitio

Located in the region of Lea Artibai, Lekeitio is settled over the side parts of Mount Otoio and Mount Lumentza. Besides its amazing view on the sea and the port, the village is remarkable for its artistic and architectural interest. The main exponent of that richness is the spectacular Basílica de la Asunción de Santa María , one of the most astonishing exponents of gothic in Biscay. The temple moreover grabs the attention for the sculpture on the western side and the richness of the trousseau.
