Elantxobe

If you are able to take the correct road without going down directly to the town, you will discover Elantxobe from above, and see its tight red roofs that seem as if suspended over the sea.

The village, from above, is a beauty that produces vertigo when you ask yourself how am I supposed to get down there. But slowly, curve by curve, you reach this charming little town that has lived for centuries with whatever the sea has to offer.

Under the protection of the eastern face of the Caño Ogoño, and open to the Bay of Biscay towards the other winds, today this fishing village has a new jetty that protects its small port. This gives certain tranquility.

Elantxobe is one of the most charming towns in all of Vizcaya, it seems as if it was taken out of a fairy tale. Elantxobe is located in Urdaibai and it is protected by a gigantic rock called Cabo Ogoño, which makes the place really beautiful.

The town is formed by very narrow streets that form a giant ladder in the mountain and that ends up in the beautiful fishing port, located in the lower part of the town.

This town is full of slopes, and to travel through Elantxobe, you must go up some very steep slopes that seem like they are never going to end. But the walk is worth it, since it allows you to see impressive views of the sea from any point of town.

It is a small fishing village that descends over the impressive block of rock of Cabo Ogoño.

It is a steep slope, were the houses seem to support themselves one over another, reaching until the sea.

Down is where the lovely fishing port can be found, and you can eat there in one of their restaurants specialized in fish.
