The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari, the patron saint of sailors, and is located on the edge of Bilbao's old town. The church was built between 1743 and 1756 in the Baroque style, based on plans by the architect Ignacio Ibero.

Definitely a highlight, but unfortunately, the castle was covered in scaffolding when I visited. The castle dates back to the Middle Ages but was later almost completely rebuilt.

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 enormously beautiful theatre building with Renaissance elements is named after the musician and composer Juan Crisostomo de Arriaga, who in his time was also known as the Spanish Mozart. Arriaga wrote his first opera at the age of 13 and died of tuberculosis shortly before his 20th birthday. The Arriaga theatre was rebuilt in 1985 after the severe damage from a severe flood in August 1983.

From the lighthouse you have a 270° view on the coast, very clear on st juan de Gaztelugatxe, perfect spot for some scenic pictures!

The Arriaga Theatre is a theatre in Bilbao, capital of the province of Biscay, in the Basque Country (Spain). It is a neo-baroque building from the late 19th century, designed by the architect Joaquín de Rucoba and dedicated to the Bilbao composer Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, who was called the "Spanish Mozart". It was inaugurated on May 31, 1890. It is one of the most important theatres in Bilbao and also one of the most remarkable buildings in the city. It has suffered various blows of fate that forced it to be rebuilt and renovated, from the fire of 1914 to the floods of 1983.

Start of the 100% pedestrian section of the path (shared with cyclists). The path runs to Sopela, Barinatxe beach (La Salvaje).
