These mountains of Vizcaya, became a tourist attraction for those residents and tourists who wish to enjoy some natural activity and soak up the natural wonders that these mountains offer. Next, we will make a small list of the <b>most important mountains of Vizcaya<\/b>, those that for their attractiveness, for the activities that take place there and for their climate, have become an important part of tourism in this province.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Anboto:<\/strong> This peak, located in the Urkiola natural park, has about 1300 meters above sea level and is the highest peak of the entire natural park located in the province of Vizcaya. Around this summit there are several stories of Basque mythology. For tourists this is an excellent place for hiking or climbing activities, this mountain is located near Alava and from the top of this mountain you can see both provinces.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mount Oiz:<\/strong> The summit of Oiz, located just over a thousand meters above sea level, is a point that is in the center of the province, in fact, if we have a map at hand we will see that the province practically divides passing through Mount Oiz. This summit does not have a great ecological attraction because it is completely smooth, but it is a very easy summit to climb and at night it is an attraction for tourists because of the views and the easy access. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mount Gorbea:<\/strong> Mount Gorbea is the highest mountain in Biscay with more than 1400 meters above sea level. In Gorbea is one of the most important tourist attractions of all the Basque Country, the Cross of Gorbea, this cross that has a long history behind it, has become the emblem of the Biscayans, besides crowning the top of this mountain, is one of the religious symbols par excellence of this province. Gorbea concentrates a great mass of climbers and mountaineers who find in this place a paradise for climbing, hiking and any mountain activity that can be done here.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mount Ganekogorta:<\/strong> It is the mountain par excellence of the bilba\u00ednos along with the pagasarri, in Ganekogorta, concentrates all the practice of mountaineering, hiking, climbing and other mountain activities coming directly from the city of Bilbao, that is, those who are in Bilbao have as a second option Ganekogorta to perform these activities (in first position is the pagasarri). It is the emblem of Bilbao, adorns the landscape of this great city and is undoubtedly a symbol for its residents. It is also considered one of the best <b>mountains in Biscay.<\/b>  <\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, visiting the <a title=\"The 4 most charming towns in Biscay\" href=\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/vizcaya\/que-ver-vizcaya\/4-pueblos-vizcaya-encanto\/\">Basque province of Biscay<\/a> is synonymous with visiting its mountains, because they are a tourist attraction of great importance for those who like outdoor activities and enjoy the wonders of nature.
