A beautiful vantage point. If the season is right, there's also the opportunity to watch whales. The path further to Gaztelugatxe, however, requires pushing because it's very overgrown. We didn't go far, but turned around and drove back along the road.

The Oma Forest - Omako basoa in Basque - is also known as the painted forest, the enchanted forest or even the Ibarrola Forest. Its most common name - Oma Forest - refers to the district in which it is located, which belongs to the municipality of Kortezubi. This original work of art was created between 1982 and 1985, when the Basque painter and sculptor Agustín Ibarrola used the trunks of trees as a kind of canvas for a total of 47 images. On them he painted animals, geometric figures and people, or just parts of them, such as eyes and lips. In addition, many of the compositions do not consist of a single tree, but must be viewed in the context of several tree trunks. To do this, you must pay attention to the signs on the ground that tell the viewer where to stand in order to enjoy the whole image.

When the Condor attacked, the residents of Guernica tried to protect the tree with their bodies because it is sacred to the Basques. Even today, elected politicians have to swear their loyalty to the Basque Country at an oak tree that stands a few meters away.

In 1982, artist Agustín Ibarrola began painting the pine trees in the forest near his homestead with the intention of using the landscape as a canvas to give continuity to his artistic expression. It is at this moment when he decides to break the law of perspective and transgress the three-dimensionality of a white line until it becomes two-dimensional. From then on, he explored the possibilities offered by the arrangement of the forest trees, playing with the different planes of depth and creating artistic sets composed of human figures, curves or straight lines, and circles of intense colors. The ideas and concepts that it develops become more complex and advances in various directions as the painted forest expands. With the help of two students from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UPV/EHU, he carried out a large part of the work that was open to the public until 2018, at which time the biological cycle of the forest came to an end. Given the importance that the work had acquired, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia began the process of making the Forest last, for which it had from the first moment the support of the artist who had made clear his desire for the forest to survive. In this way and in order to preserve El Bosque de Oma, the Ibarrola work has been moved to a new location, also recovering original artistic ensembles lost due to felling, attacks and natural tree falls. Today we can enjoy El Bosque de Oma more complete and more faithful to the artist's original idea.

The Forest of Oma is one of the best-known works of the Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola and is an expression of the artistic movement known as Art and Nature, which emerged in the late sixties of the 20th century and whose purpose is to convey artistic work to the natural environment, using the landscape as a framework, support and raw material for the artist. The work, located in the town of Kortezubi (Bizkaia), is made up of several sets of geometric motifs and figures painted on the trunk of radiata pine trees. The use of natural living supports, the play of two-three-dimensionality and the experience of placing the visitor at the center of the work of art through his discovery, as well as the diversity of responses it proposes, make this work a reference of the Art and Nature movement and of Basque Art in particular.

This cape is the most prominent point in Euskadi, located very close to the famous hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. If you bring binoculars, you can also occasionally spot cetaceans and seabirds. In addition, you will be able to see the current lighthouse as well as the old one, although only the tower remains of the old one.

Located on the spectacular cliffs of Cape Matxitxako between the municipalities of Bermeo and Bakio, the lighthouse offers panoramic views of the Cantabrian Sea. It is also a historical place, as it was the scene of several shipwrecks in the past and has a monument in memory of the sailors who died at sea.

This bridge is an incredible find in the middle of the forest. It is covered with ivy and in summer it is so green that it is hardly visible. If you go down next to the river you can take some great photos with the water and the bridge. For many years this bridge has had to survive numerous floods. It's amazing that he's still here.

Cape Matxitxako has two lighthouses. The old lighthouse, was built in 1852 and is no longer used. The new one is taller and much larger with space for the lighthouse keeper and storerooms. This is an interesting and wonderful place to visit with or without the lighthouses. The sea views are quite amazing and worth a visit.

In Urdaibai, there are currently some 600 hectares of marshes, which present a wide floodable bed. The action of the tides, endows this ecosystem with a dynamic component with great attraction for its observation. It is a landscape that changes every few hours. The Urdaibai marsh is an ecosystem in which the influence of nature and the centuries-old practices of man merge as in few places. In an environment that at first sight seems untouched, the expert eye discovers a network of old stone and mud dykes (munas), structures for gates no longer in use, semi-dry areas for pasture (polders) and canals for old mills, which were built with wisdom and respect for the environment have shaped a landscape with a multitude of nuances.

The landscape that Cape Matxitxako offers is, in its most technical meaning, the best panoramic view of our coastline. As it is the northernmost cape in Euskadi, on very clear days you can see the Cantabrian coast and the French coast, although closer is the islet of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and Aketze to the west, and Izaro and the Ogoño rock To the East. Its privileged location, included in the Natura 2000 Network and close to several special protection areas, make this enclave an ideal place for the analysis of biodiversity, specifically, for the observation of seabirds and cetaceans. Of the two buildings that we see in its vicinity, the one above, the large one, corresponds to the new lighthouse, inaugurated in 1909 and which is currently in operation; The building that looks out over the precipice is the so-called old lighthouse from 1852 and which since 2014 has been converted into an observatory for birdlife and cetaceans.

Beautiful Romanesque bridge from the 16th century blending in with the surroundings. The itinerary of the Camino de Santiago from the north or from the coast runs over it.

This old stone bridge was crossed by pilgrims and traders as early as the 16th century. Over the centuries it has withstood flooding and wear and tear, making it a special historical relic as it is the only surviving Romanesque bridge in this region. In the meantime it has been swallowed up by the nature around it and with a little luck it will continue to exist in this harmony for a long time and remind pilgrims of bygone times.
