Magnificent cycle path between Barakaldo and La Arena. The pavement is in very good condition and the lanes are wide and segregated from the road.

A large beach with dark sand, next to the mouth of the Barbadún river. It has sand that stains because it comes from rocks with iron ore.

Church of San Julián de Santullán

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of San Julián is from the beginning of the s. XVI. Several reforms have been carried out, although it keeps its old Gothic layout. Inside we can see in the apse a sculpture by Juan de Garay from the s. XVII. The former presence of an image of Santiago links this church to the Jacobean route.

Arenillas Beach

Highlight • Beach

Arenillas beach is a small beach of fine sand next to the Oriñón estuary. The beach disappears at high tide, but at low tide, in addition to the beach itself, there is also a strip of sand that joins it with Oriñón beach. In addition, the beach, at low tide, is a popular area with surfers, although you have to be careful with the underwater currents. In fact, on the left side of the beach you will see an area where the buoys restrict access due to currents.

Oriñón Bay

Highlight • Beach

Impressive cove framed between two hills at the mouth of the Oriñón estuary. The capricious tides constantly change the landscape and on days with waves you can see surfers enjoying themselves in the water.
