Plentzia Bay

Highlight • Beach

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.

The beach, Gorliz bay, its forests and cliffs offer the walker a great variety of landscapes mixed with history that are worth exploring and enjoying.
