A Lovely Port

If you are able to take the correct road without going down directly to the town, you will discover Elantxobe from above, and see its tight red roofs that seem as if suspended over the sea.

The village, from above, is a beauty that produces vertigo when you ask yourself how am I supposed to get down there. But slowly, curve by curve, you reach this charming little town that has lived for centuries with whatever the sea has to offer.

Under the protection of the eastern face of the Caño Ogoño, and open to the Bay of Biscay towards the other winds, today this fishing village has a new jetty that protects its small port. This gives certain tranquility.


How must it have been before? How did the fishermen dock after crossing the sea in this narrow and rocky cove? I’m scared to think about it…

Out of a Fairy Tale

Elantxobe is one of the most charming towns in all of Vizcaya, it seems as if it was taken out of a fairy tale. Elantxobe is located in Urdaibai and it is protected by a gigantic rock called Cabo Ogoño, which makes the place really beautiful.

The town is formed by very narrow streets that form a giant ladder in the mountain and that ends up in the beautiful fishing port, located in the lower part of the town.

This town is full of slopes, and to travel through Elantxobe, you must go up some very steep slopes that seem like they are never going to end. But the walk is worth it, since it allows you to see impressive views of the sea from any point of town.


Imagine how narrow the streets are that the bus comes every day from the nearby towns and it can only turn in the main square of Elantxobe, and there it manages to do it only because it’s a revolving plaza: the bus stops in the middle and with a lever the plaza turns 180 degrees and the bus can then go out, it’s extremely curious!

The port of Elantxobe is spectacularly beautiful. It is a very calm place surrounded with houses and rocks and you can breathe an indescribable peace.

If you are lucky enough to visit this town in its festivities (in August I think), you will enjoy an authentic spectacle where everyone jumps from great heights into the sea. The only problem is that usually there are a few accidents during this festivity.

For eating, Elantxobe has some amazing restaurants where you can taste amazing fish cooked to perfection.

Specifically, there is a restaurant in the port where besides good food you can have a romantic evening thanks to its views and the decoration of the place.

Little Fishing Village

It is a small fishing village that descends over the impressive block of rock of Cabo Ogoño.

It is a steep slope, were the houses seem to support themselves one over another, reaching until the sea.

Down is where the lovely fishing port can be found, and you can eat there in one of their restaurants specialized in fish.

Elantxobe

Elantxobe es un pueblo precioso situado en la ladera del monte Ogoño. Mi amuma es de allí y todos los veranos vamos a pasar unos días con ella. Pero desde luego ya no es lo mismo que antes. Ya no tenemos ni rampas, ni lapatza (playa de piedras) dentro del puerto. No se ha convertido mas que en un comercio. Nos han prohibido hasta saltar de los muelles cuando de toda la vida hemos saltado. De hecho si vais podréis encontrar un cartel donde encontrareis todo tipo de prohibiciones absurdas. Hace no mucho construyeron una piscina para los niños, no voy a negar que esta bastante bien pero, el único problema es que como es una piscina que se llena cuando la marea sube siempre esta bastante sucia y se llena de berdin, lo que provoca que los niños o adultos se resbalen y cada dos por tres tengan que ir ambulancias a atenderles. Dicho esto creo que podría utilizar el dinero para otras cosas mas simples como para construir una panadería porque en el pueblo no hay mas que una farmacia, que por cierto lleva ahí desde no hace muchos años, dos bares, y dos tiendas de chucherías y eso no es que sea muy útil. En mi opinión todo esto es causa de la avaricia del alcalde que no busca mas que comercializar el pueblo, sin pensar en los ciudadanos, para obtener unas ganancias que irán a parar a su bolsillo.
Elantxobe is a charming town set on the hillside Ogoo. My MEA is all and every summer we will spend a few days with her. But of course it is no longer the same as before. We no longer have or ramps, or Lapatza (pebble beach) within the port. It has not become more than a trade. We have forbidden to jump from the springs of life when we jumped. In fact if you go podris find a sign where you will find all kinds of absurd prohibitions. Not long ago built a pool for children, I will not deny that this quite well but the only problem is that as a pool that is filled when the tide always rises is quite dirty and full of berdin, causing children or adults are slipping and every now and then have to go ambulances to assist you. Having said that I think could use the money for other more simple to build a bakery in the village things because there is only one pharmacy, which incidentally takes ah since not many years ago, two bars, and two stores and that chucheras it is not very useful. In my view this is all because of the greed of the mayor who seeks only market town, without thinking citizens to gain a profit which irn to stop his pocket.

Dramatic cliffs

A strapiombo sul mare

Elantxobe (Elanchove in castigliano) è un bellissimo paesino basco a strapiombo sul mare! Siamo arrivati con la macchina fino alla parte superiore del borgo: da qui si contempla una vista meravigliosa sul porticciolo sottostante e sulla costa. Scendere al porto (oggi porto sportivo) è d'obbligo, ma se decidete di farlo a piedi, attenzione! Dopo dovrete risalire e non sarà così semplice! Qui ci sono alcuni bar in cui prendere piacevolmente un aperitivo.
Elantxobe (Elanchove in Spanish) is a beautiful Basque town overlooking the sea! We arrived by car up to the top of the village, hence it provides a wonderful view of the harbor below and the coast. Down to the harbor (now the marina) is a must, but if you decide to do it on foot, watch out! Next you need to go back and not be so simple! Here are a few bars in which to take a pleasant aperitif.

Small fishing village

Pequeño pueblo pesquero

Elantxobe es un pequeño pueblo pesquero situado en la costa noroeste de la provincia de Vizkaya. El pueblo está situado en montaña y me pareció muy curioso ver las escaleras estrechas que subían desde las casas situadas por la zona del puerto hacía arriba. Por otra parte, también me pareció muy bonito ver el puerto protegido por ese muro. Nosotros hicimos un recorrido desde Ibarrangelu, dónde nos hospedábamos, hasta San Juan de Gaztelugache y recomiendo mucho hacerlo ya que nos encontramos pueblos preciosos y unas vistas increíbles.
Elantxobe is a small fishing town on the northwest coast of the province of Vizkaya. The village is located in mountain and seemed to me very curious to see the narrow stairs to rise from the houses located by the harbor area haca above. Moreover, I also seemed very nice to see the harbor protected by the wall. We made a journey from Ibarrangelu, where to us hospedbamos to San Juan de Gaztelugache and highly recommend doing so as we found a lovely towns and incredible views.

From above, the views of the Bay of Biscay and the port are unparalleled

Las vistas del Cantábrico y del puerto, son inigualables

Excellent
Elantxobe es un precioso pueblo situado en la falda de uno de los múltiples acantilados existentes en la Costa de Vizcaya. Desde arriba, las vistas del Cantábrico y del puerto, son inigualables. Se puede bajar andando desde la Plaza Mayor hasta el puerto aunque es más recomendable bajar en coche, ya que las escaleritas que hay que bajar son ciertamente peligrosas.
Elantxobe is a beautiful town located at the foot of one of the many existing cliffs on the Costa de Vizcaya. From above, the views of the Bay of Biscay and the port are unparalleled. You can walk down from the Plaza Mayor to the port although it is more advisable to get off by car, since the stairs that need to be lowered are certainly dangerous.

Over Cliff

Sobre el acantilado

Pueblecito precioso, contruido sobre un acantilado y protegido de la furia del Mar Cantabrico. Hay que pisarlo, hay recorrerlo en toda su extensión, desde lo más alto hasta el propio mar. Y no hay que dejar de ver como es capaz de dar la vuelta el autobús público en esas estrechas calles ¡DESCUBRIRLO!
Charming village, Built on a cliff and protected from the fury of the Cantabrian Sea. You have to walk on, no cross it in all its extension, from the most high to the sea itself. And do not miss seeing as it is capable of turning the public bus in those narrow streets DISCOVER!

Ce petit village au bord de la mer est un régal

Excellent
Les maisons sont situées en hauteur son beaux. Le petit port en bas de la colline est très agréable, vous pouvez vous poser au soleil et profiter du calme de la mer. Puis vous avez aussi de belles balades qui montent et vous offrent une vue à couper le souffle ! C’est un très petit village mais je le recommande.
This small village at the edge of the sea and whose houses are located in height is a treat! The small port at the bottom of the hill is very nice, you can sit in the sun and enjoy the calm of the sea. And then you also have beautiful walks that go up and offer a breathtaking view! It is a very small village but I recommend it :-)

Restaurant Itxas Etxea

Restaurante Itxas Etxea

Excellent
El pueblo merece la pena. Está construido en una pendiente frente al mar, pero voy a avisaros para que no caigais en la trampa de este restaurante. Nos avisaron de que la lubina que tenían era de 1,2 Kg y 55 €, pero no pasaba ni de broma de 800 gr, con lo que se hizo muy escasa. La docena de anchoas no tenía la calidad que hacían esperar sus 18 €. La tarta de arroz de 6 € no pasaba de un cutre bizcocho adornado en una esquina con nata montada DE BOTE!!! (teniendo en cuenta los 6 € del postrecito, estas mayúsculas me parecen muy necesarias...) Todo aderezado con un trato que dejó bastante que desear. En el País Vasco se come de maravilla, y la gente es super agradable, aunque también hay que pagarlo..., parece que en este sitio sólo les gusta cobrar y se han olvidado del resto...
The village is worth. It is built on a slope overlooking the sea, but I will warn you not to fall into the trap of this restaurant. We were told that they had the sea bass was 1.2 kg and 55 €, but that was not a joke than 800 gr, which became very scarce. The dozen anchovies did not expect the quality that made his 18 €. The rice cake € 6 was nothing but a crappy cake decorated in a corner with whipped BOAT! (Taking into account the 6 € of postrecito, these seem very necessary case ...) Any seasoned with a deal that left much to be desired. In the Basque Country eats great, and the people are super nice, but you also have to pay ... it seems that on this site just like to collect and have forgotten the rest ...

El pueblo en sí es muy bonito. Pero nos aguó bastante la experiencia no encontrar un sitio donde comer. De los pocos bares que había uno estaba lleno a más no poder y otros dos donde fuimos nos trataron bastante mal. Así que nos fuimos a comer a Guernica.
