Urdaibai
Biosphere Reserve
Our venue is set in an unbeatable landscape,
a unique place where the sky is constantly changing shape.
An estuary which floods and dries up daily every 6 hours,
where fresh- and saltwater meet
to give way to exuberant biodiversity.
Furthermore, this region is of great cultural value
and has much to offer visitors.
Here are some suggestions for you:
