Towns

Urduliz is a beautiful village belonging to the Uribe Costa region, in Bizkaia. The town is located on the left bank of the river Butrón, which forms a charming valley while flowing through this land. Urduliz is a mainly rural village consisting of neighbourhoods Elortza, La Campa, Dobaran, Meriondo and Zalbides. However there is an expansion plan that includes the construction of new residential areas. If we walk into the urban area, we can visit the complex formed by the baroque church of Santa María, rebuilt in the 18th century, and the also baroque Torrebarri palace, dating from the 17th century.

 

Both buildings are situated within a leisure area that has tables, benches and barbecues. From this point we can access to the nearby rocks of Urduliz, where we will visit the hermitage of Santa Marina, which stands next to a rocky wall. Here we can enjoy astonishing views of the coast, from Punta Lucero to Billano Cape. Moreover, it is a perfect place for climbing and hiking lovers. In its surroundings exist several routes, some of them reach even the Butrón Castle, in Gatika.

 

We can also approach to the Errotaxu mill, one of the oldest in the region, which is still into operation. All those visiting Urduliz in the beginning of September will enjoy the great festive atmosphere that floods the village during the Andra Mari festival. Music performances and many other kinds of events are included in the festive agenda of Urduliz. Along the way between the church of Santa María and the town hall, we find the municipal probadero, a court where many performances take place, especially the traditional idi probak (oxes pulling big stones).
