The Ortube boat is a historic vessel of Bermeo, built in the 70s. It is a traditional fishing boat, which has been restored and is now used to offer guided tours, allowing visitors to learn about the history of the town and its relationship with the sea.ç
✨ Imagine this...
Years ago, Bermeo lived to the rhythm of the waves, the fishermen and the stories whispered by the Bay of Biscay.
Today, you can relive that magic, aboard Ortube.
🚤 Although Ortube rests on land, its history is still alive.
📜 Every corner of the ship, every word of the Bermeans, connects you with a past full of adventure, struggle and the deep relationship with the sea.
🌅 From its cabins to the wood that has plied these seas, this is not just a guided tour, it is a journey into the soul of Bermeo.
🛶 Come aboard and feel how the past comes to life.
Because Ortube is not just a boat, it is a bridge between generations, between the past of the fishermen and the present of its people.

Albertia Forest, Legutio, Gorbeialdea 🌳✨
In this forest, the pollarded beech trees reflect an ancestral technique known as pollarding, practised in the Basque Country. 🌲 Our ancestors did not fell the trees, but modified them to use their wood in a sustainable way, especially for charcoal kilns and domestic use. A true naturalist heritage. 🌿
💡 The hollows in the trees also serve as a refuge for local fauna: birds such as the tawny owl and the wren (txepetxa), and mammals such as the marten and the genet. 🦉
We go into this forest with our travellers, accompanied by Iñaki, who reveals the secrets of this place full of history and biodiversity.
🏞️ Join us and discover the magic of the Albertia Forest! 🌱

**Harri-jasotzea: The Strength of Euskal Herria**
Lifting stones is one of the most iconic traditions in our land. Our **harrijasotzailes** face these massive weights with technique, strength, and pride.
This sport, part of the **herri kirolak** (Basque rural sports), is more than a physical challenge—it’s a tribute to our roots, resilience, and connection with nature. 🌄💥
During **Urkabustaiz Eguna**, spectators enjoyed incredible stone-lifting feats.
That's how special this sport is! If you ever get the chance to witness a lifting, don’t miss it—you’ll be left speechless.

Discover the Cathedral of Santa María in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Located at the top of the hill, it bears witness to centuries of history and is an essential destination for those who want to discover the origins of the capital of Alava.
With a pioneering restoration project "open for work", the cathedral has shone again and you can now visit it from its foundations to the very top, enjoying unique views of the city and the plains of Alava. Excavations have revealed secrets of the past, such as ancient burial sites and vestiges of the settlement of Gasteiz, dating back to the 8th century.
Inspiration for great writers such as Ken Follet, who visited the cathedral in the midst of restoration to write the second part of *The Pillars of the Earth*
