View from the Kurkullu de Astondo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Built in 1990, this lighthouse holds the title of being the highest altitude lighthouse not only in Euskadi, but also in the Cantabrian Sea.
From this point, we will also have privileged views over the Bay of Plentzia.
Just below are some bunkers built in the post-war period.

Located at the end of this cape in the Bay of Plentzia you will find this defensive area that is part of the Bilbao Iron Belt.

Plentzia Bay

Highlight • Beach

Plentzia offers a beautiful beach, which is protected from too high waves by the large bay, even when the waves are high. So particularly suitable for swimmers on the otherwise rough Atlantic coast!

Highlight • Rest Area

It's great that there are drinking water fountains everywhere. Especially valuable as a backpacker! :)
