Oxirando Tower

Highlight • Castle

The Oxirando Tower is located on Calle Oxirando 1 in the town of Sandamendi, belonging to the municipality of Gordexola, on an important medieval road that connects Artziniega with Bilbao. The complex is made up of a late-Gothic medieval tower from the 15th century and a Renaissance palace attached to it in the last quarter of the 16th century.

Bicycle Highway Near Bilbao

Highlight • Cycleway

There is a fantastic network of cycle paths in and around Bilbao. The cycle superhighways are particularly easy to ride on. It's enough to make you jealous.

Greenway of the Montes del Hierro

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This cycle path is an exemplary example of what a successful cycle infrastructure looks like. It takes you from the beach town of La Arena to the center of Barakaldo (or the other way around). The path is not a bicycle path that has been removed from the car path with street paint, but rather it is an independent path with a surface that is easy to roll on. At the beginning (or end) of the path you drive through a quiet valley on a slight incline.

Start of the Cycle Highway

Highlight • Cycleway

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.

Playa de La Arena

Highlight • Beach

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.
