Private AlbaolaBike
It is the nao San Juan, a transoceanic cargo ship that was built in the 16th century in the bay of Pasajes and sank off the coast of Canada in 1565, where it went to hunt whales, melt their blubber and obtain an oil that was highly prized at the time, the fuel of the 16th century.
During the visit to Albaola you will discover how a whaling ship is built in the traditional way and you will immerse yourself in the culture and daily life of Pasajes, which has a marked maritime character.

Paseo Nuevo
10 min
View details
At this point in the tour, it is well worth taking a break, stopping pedalling to enjoy the views of La Concha Bay and its pearl, the island of Santa Clara. But just as we cannot imagine the Basque Country without the sea, neither can we imagine it without iron, and of course without the great artists that this land produced in the 20th century, so take a moment to contemplate Jorge Oteiza’s Empty Construction.
