Streets squares and districts to visit Basque Country

This small port has retained all its charm of yesteryear. In summer, the sight of children jumping from the dikes is quite picturesque.

Medieval architectural together with narrow streets, where old houses of sailors, small palaces of the 19th century mingle and places of worship.

A point of union between Casco Viejo and Ensanche, this square, surrounded by modern buildings, opens onto Bilbao's Gran Vía. On its central column, a statue was held in the 1300 th century in honor of donating Diego López de Haro, founder of the city in.

Since 2021, Ormaiztegi has been able to boast a new work of art in its public space: a 200 m2 square fresco! Created by local artist Balu, it pays tribute to the town's past and its emblematic sites, such as the former spa, a symbol of luxury and a must-visit spot for wealthy tourists from 1954 to 1964, as well as the former railway station. One of the largest frescoes in Europe. A work well worth a look.

Located in the historic center of Ordizia, three sculptures pay tribute to Baserritarra, the typical Basque garb (red skirt, black apron and espadrilles) with which the town of Goierritarra has been closely associated for centuries. They are Goizane, Peru and Mariane, three figures in wood and stone symbolizing the traditional figures of the Baserri woman and the shepherd who used to come down with their produce to the popular fair held every week in the Plaza Mayor.
