Gautegiz Arteaga
It’s history of mills and iron workers became glamorous when Napoleon III built a castle for his wife Eugenia de Montijo next to the salt marshes. Alongside the Urdaibai Bird Center, the castle is an emblem for tourism. However, because of its strategic location with the salt marshes as a unique landscape, close to the historic foral town of Gernika-Lumo and just a few kilometres from some of the most important beaches in Bizkaia, Gautegiz Arteaga has many interesting natural resources.
