is a magnificent and diverse nature reserve. It features river valleys, salt marshes, coastal cliffs, oak forests, and tranquil bays, where land and water meet, offering rich views. The river within the reserve flows into a broad estuary, where wetlands and beaches intertwine on both banks, appearing even more poetic in the morning mist or at sunset. Upon entering this area, you can stroll along the trails through the oak forests or overlook the meeting point of the coastal cliffs and azure waters. The wetlands are home to various migratory birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. During the migration season, the fluttering wings against the sky add a touch of liveliness to the area. The beach is gentle yet retains its wild charm; waves gently lap against the shore, and visitors can stroll along the beach or take in the sea views from the headland. The area also retains its Basque culture and fishing village charm, with quiet, traditional towns along the coast.
