Located in the Old Town of Bermeo, just a few meters from the San Juan Arch, where the ancient path to Gaztelugatxe once began, we offer you the chance to discover our maritime, natural, and historical heritage in an interactive and accessible way. The center brings visitors closer to Gaztelugatxe through three main pillars:
First, it offers the opportunity to discover the values of this Natural Monument: a landscape shaped by the sea and time, a rich and protected ecosystem, and the geological and biological treasures of our coastline. From the bird sanctuary on Akatx Island to the crystal-clear underwater kelp forests, this corner protects the flora and fauna of our shores, such as the Armeria euskadiensis flower or the European storm petrel.
Second, from a historical and cultural perspective, it reveals the bonds forged over centuries with the people of Bermeo and neighboring towns: beliefs, traditions, rituals, and legends that have endured to this day.
Finally, the space invites us to reflect, raising awareness about the challenges of tourism and environmental conservation in pursuit of a responsible future.
Your journey begins here: to understand the landscape, feel the tradition, and, together, protect our most precious treasure.
