Arteaga Castle

Highlight • Castle

Its history of mills and ironworks becomes glamorous when Napoleon III builds a castle for his wife Eugenia de Montijo, next to the marsh. The castle is, together with the Urdaibai Bird Center, its tourist emblem, but due to its strategic location, with the marsh as the setting for a unique landscape, close to the historic town of Gernika-Lumo and a few kilometers from some of the most important beaches from Bizkaia, Gautegiz Arteaga has many interesting natural resources.

Proof of this is the Santimamiñe Cave. It enjoys a landscape open towards the estuary and secluded in the interior valleys, with walks and routes that immerse you in an exceptional landscape.
