Here is a small representation in which castles, fortresses, mills, trenches and baserris ( Basque for farmhouses), among others, take center stage. 
- Torre Iberdrola Viewpoint: Located on the 25th floor of the emblematic Torre Iberdrola in Bilbao, this viewpoint allows us to enjoy an impressive perspective of the capital of Bizkaia without having to waste time traveling. A family plan, which has become one of the star attractions of this Basque city. If you want more information about the visit to this tower, we recommend reading our article: Mirador Torre Iberdrola, the best views of Bilbao.
- Butron Castle: Located in the region of Uribe, in Bizkaia, this castle is one of the most striking of all those found in the Basque Country. Unfortunately, this historic building, now in disuse, cannot be visited. It is a private property. However, although we cannot visit its interior, we can walk around the castle on the outside, letting ourselves be carried away by each of the elements that we can see on its façade.
- Muñatones Castle: Located in Muskiz, Bizkaia, this castle of medieval origin, shares history with the Castle of Butrón, thus, making a visit to both spaces practically mandatory. In this case, the castle can be visited both inside and outside during the summer season. We recommend reading our article “Castillo de Muñatones, a treasure of our history“.
- Fort San Marcos: Strategically located on a hill, Fort San Marcos allows us to easily see the coast of Gipuzkoa and part of Iparralde, the French Basque Country. A fortress that, thanks to its different spaces, transports us directly to another era. During our visit, we witnessed all the aspects that make your visit mandatory, here is a summary: Fort San Marcos, a fortress to fall in love with.
- Olite Castle: The Palace of Olite, wrongly called Olite Castle, is one of the most glamorous in the north of the peninsula. One of the most visited places in Navarra. It is not for less. Each of its corners, makes it seem that we are in a medieval-themed film. In addition, very close to this incredible building, we have the opportunity to visit another of the great attractions of the area, the medieval galleries of Olite.
- Castillo de la Mota: Mount Urgull, one of the 3 natural viewpoints of Donostia San Sebastian, surprises us when we reach its summit. It is here where we find the Castillo de la Mota. A fortress, which, created to protect the city, surrounded by emblematic spaces such as the battery of the ladies or the cemetery of the English, provides us with an adventure in the center of the capital of Gipuzkoa. A space that children will love.
- Castle of Amaiur: Today in ruins, this ancient castle was the last bastion of the Kingdom of Navarra. A space, which is in the process of study and will have its own museum in the near future.
- Amaiur Mill: Very close to the castle of Amaiur, at the entrance of the village, we find another of the typical buildings of Baztan, a water mill. In this case, it is a very special mill, because, in addition to guided tours to show us how it works, they also make one of the most delicious talos in the area. We recommend trying them.
- Errotabarri Mill: Like the one in Amaiur, the Errotabarri mill is also a water mill. However, this one has a difference, its flour comes from the autochthonous corn of Bizkaia, the txakinarto. Located in the municipality of Gamiz-Fika, in the region of Uribe, this mill represents the hundreds of water mills that we once found in this region. A small treasure of the XVII century that grinds roasted corn with great effectiveness.
- Aixerrota WindmillToday in disuse, this windmill located on the cliffs of Punta Galea, Getxo, is one of the few windmills that we can find in the Basque Country. An emblematic building of our coast. Unfortunately, it does not have its internal mechanisms, a fact that does not prevent it from maintaining a great external appearance.
- IgartubeitiThis 16th century farmhouse is one of the most representative of the popular architecture of the Basque people. A jewel that we must take care of and appreciate. In this museum, besides being able to contemplate the structure of a Basque farmhouse, we can appreciate every aspect related to it, from the way of life to the elaboration of cider. A highly recommended place.
- San Juan de Gaztelugatxe: One of the most visited areas of the Basque coast. Even more, since it was presented as one of the scenes of Game of Thrones in the Basque Country. The route to reach the top of this islet, makes us live an adventure with our children. We are sure they will love it. We recommend you to read our article about San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.

A space, in which in addition to putting in value, each of the Basque mythological characters, we also have the possibility of contemplating an authentic farmhouse. A structure similar to that of the Igartubeiti museum but with a totally different theme inside.
- The bridges of Bilbao: Touring the 13 bridges of Bilbao, is currently a fun and dynamic way to visit the capital of Bizkaia. A route that takes us to cross the estuary of Bilbao from San Mames to the Casco Viejo, visiting along the way great spaces of Bilbao.
- Iron Belt of Sopela: Being able to walk among trenches and bunkers is one of the attractions offered by the Iron Belt as it passes through Sopela. This military complex was created to prevent Franco’s troops from occupying Bilbao. Unfortunately, due to technical problems and a great betrayal, Franco’s troops easily reached the capital of Biscay.
- Lekeitio Lighthouse: The Santa Catalina Lighthouse is one of those places that are perfectly prepared for the visit of the little ones of the house. In fact, I would dare to say that it is largely aimed at them thanks to the 4D simulation. A rewarding maritime experience that puts us in the place of a real sailor from Lekeitio.
- Sanctuary of AranzazuLocated in Oñati, in a natural environment of great value, this sanctuary is one of the most striking of all Euskadi. One of the most emblematic.
