Where to stay in Elantxobe: the best areas
The hanging village
Elantxobe has very few beds, an apartment or rural house or two between the upper village and the harbour, linked by steps. Parking is difficult, and the bus turns round on the turntable in the upper square. Sleeping here lets you see the harbour and the pools by the quay without visitors.
Best-rated in this area: Elantxobe puerto, with a score of 9.5 from 28 reviews.
Ea and Ibarrangelu
Ea and Ibarrangelu, with Laga beach, have quiet rural houses in Urdaibai a few minutes away. The path to Cape Ogoño calls for hiking boots.
Gernika
Gernika, the main town of the area, adds services and trains to Bilbao, and works for exploring the whole reserve.
