Holiday apartment in Guinea – Cultural heritage between valley and limestone peaks

Guinea between valley and limestone peaks

Guinea lies where the Gaubea Valley begins to rise towards the limestone peaks. This transition gives the village a clear landscape setting: the valley and the rising limestone formations shape the surroundings of Guinea. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Guinea can therefore choose a place where landscape and history come into view together.

Historical traces in the village

Because of its strategic location, a defensive tower was built in Guinea during the Middle Ages. In addition, remains of a Knights Templar monastery are present in Guinea. Both traces give the village different historical accents and make Guinea interesting for travelers who want to shape their stay not only around the landscape but also around culture. These themes give a stay in a holiday house or holiday apartment in Guinea a specific cultural focus.

The Church of San Martín is located in Guinea and forms part of the historical cultural heritage of Valdegovía. The historic Torre de Guinea stood at the entrance to the settlement, at the site where the Fernández de Palomares house now stands. The historic Torre de Guinea has disappeared.

Cave, mountains, and waterfall

The Hayal de Guinea cave is located on the eastern side of the Sierra de Arkamo. Its assemblage of finds comprised 34 remains of the brown bear (Ursus arctos). This gives the site a specific cave location combined with a remarkable find. Its position at the beginning of the rising Gaubea Valley also offers a distinct perspective on the landscape around Guinea.

The Salto del Nervion waterfall and the mountains Alto de la Mota, Santamancos, and El Cueto are located in the surroundings of Ginea.
