0. WELCOME TO AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

View on map

We welcome you to one of the most particular places on the Bay of Biscay: Algorta Old Port.

 

We have made a series of interpretational and informational resources available for you, both physical  (plaques on houses and numbered panels on the plan) and in digital format, for you to learn about the history and singular features of this spot and the relationship it has closely forged with El Abra bay and the sea: The stories of shipwrecks and heroic rescues, the joyful cries of the ladies selling sardines, the early call of the Txo at the fishermen’s houses, the skilful pilots, the summer holiday makers and the nannies who worked in service with them… will take you back to another, not so very far gone time, which has been delightfully well conserved.

 

We invite you to stroll through its narrow streets, stop before its buildings and its viewing points, and discover the Old Port’s flavours and aromas. To do so, you can download the App “The Old Port, from house to house” with which you can tour its streets and houses, discover the best of its gastronomy and obtain data from the “health” tool during your trip.  Go ahead and explore its rich and varied heritage whilst you enjoy an unforgettable experience.
