Culture

Heritage, art, and spaces that tell the story of the region

Bizkar's cultural surroundings bring together history, creativity, and unique spaces that allow one to understand the character of the region. From industrial and maritime heritage to contemporary art, a network of places that invite you to discover, learn, and enjoy at your own pace.

Albaola

This is a very special place, a museum that, until recently, also served as the shipyard for the whaling ship San Juan. Today, the visit remains interesting, and you can complete it, as we like to do, with a meal at the Cámara restaurant. To get there, you’ll need to take the boat that crosses the harbor mouth to reach Pasajes de San Juan (Donibane Pasaia).

Hermitage of La Antigua

This hermitage, located in Zumarraga, houses an authentic work of art: the entire wooden framework that gives life to its stone walls, a jewel of Basque Romanesque art.

Chillida Leku

If Bizkar is a sculpture to be inhabited, Chillida Leku is the home of Eduardo Chillida’s beautiful sculptures and, without a doubt, an awe-inspiring space dominated by the Zabalaga Farmhouse, which hosts a very complete exhibition of his work. A starting point to then escape to Donosti and enjoy the Comb of the Wind sculpture or his sculpture “El Abrazo” (The Embrace), located on Pico del Loro, between Ondarreta and La Concha.

Rugby in Bayonne

A beautiful city, often considered the city with the highest quality of life in France. But for rugby lovers, it is also the place to watch the best rugby in Euskadi, except when their team travels to Anoeta Stadium, which hosts the most important matches for this team playing in France’s TOP14.
