Lekeitio. Fishing village
Lekeitio alone is worth a day spent wandering its streets, observing the activity of the port; the direct sale of fish; the rowers training in the characteristic traineras of the Cantabrian Sea…
The more cultured side of Lekeitio, with its palatial civil and religious architecture, is remarkable… It’s curious how a virtual tour of the history of universal architecture could be completed in its unique Basque expression in this town.
Highlights include the unique Gothic basilica, the Renaissance and Baroque styles, with the Zubieta palace being the most beautiful building in Bizkaia in its style.
Street theatre, music, and a wide variety of pintxo bars and pubs expand the town’s offerings. Pay attention to the language; you’ll hear the most authentic Basque…pure music.
