Bridge on the cycle superhighway over the motorway junction, for cyclists and pedestrians

Already pretty much at the end/beginning of the railway line, here it is even asphalted, before/later not anymore, but always easy to ride.

The bridge was built in the 11th century and served as an important crossing point on the old road to Castile. It crosses the Cadagua River and is one of the city's landmarks. The bridge consists of three arches and has a Gothic tower added in the 15th century. This tower was formerly used to collect tolls.

The church is dedicated to Saint Severinus of Noricum, the patron saint of prisoners. It was built in the 15th century in the Gothic style. The church is located in the main square of Balmaseda.

A beautiful funerary hermitage on the lands of the noble Urrutia family, dating back to the 17th century. There is also a chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. It is one of the few funerary chapels in Bizkaia. The Urrutia family settled there in the mid-16th century and established a manor house with a palace, a chapel, three blacksmith shops, a mill, and other properties. Antonio Urrutia Salazar and Jeronima Atxuriaga Murga-Loizaga (the seventh lords and ladies of the Urrutia family) ordered the construction of the family's funerary chapel (or hermitage) in 1673. When Simón Urrutia Ermu, the last member of the family, died in 1889, the chapel disappeared. The chapel has a rectangular floor plan and masonry; however, the façade is made of stone. The front facade features a large, semi-arched door with a wrought iron grille. Through this door, the Urrutia family heard mass from the balcony of their palace in front of the chapel. Above the door is the family coat of arms, supported by two lions. Above the chapel is a bell tower with a stone statue of the Assumption of Mary; according to tradition, Mrs. Jeronima herself was the model for the Virgin Mary.
