From your holiday apartment in Amorebieta-Etxano to culture and local history

The Church of Santa María de la Asunción is a single-nave Renaissance church. Construction began in the second half of the 16th century; the church has a wooden main altar in the Rococo style.

Other buildings also make their own impression. Palacio de Cancelada is a four-storey Neoclassical building from the 19th century. Casa Harrison is an English-style villa built in 1910. The sculpture “La Patata”, located at a roundabout in Amorebieta-Etxano and regarded as a defining feature of the municipality, creates a distinctly different impression.

For days with children, Jauregibarria Park offers practical options: it has children's play areas and picnic tables. This makes it possible to combine a culturally focused stay with a break in the park, without structuring the day exclusively around sightseeing or longer walks.

Circular routes and stages

The PR-BI-74 Andrés Espinosa circular route begins in Jauregibarria Park in Amorebieta-Etxano and leads to the Chapel of San Juan de Ergoien. It then continues to the Chapel of San Bartolomé and subsequently returns to Amorebieta-Etxano. The route there and back is 6 kilometres long. This route combines the park, chapels and the return to the town in one continuous walking experience.

The GR 229 Mikeldi offers a different perspective on the route. One stage leads from Amorebieta-Etxano via Belatxikieta, Betsuen, Gibela and Santa Luzia as well as San Andres to Durango. When choosing your holiday apartment or accommodation in Amorebieta-Etxano, these different types of routes can provide useful guidance: you can decide whether a circular route or a stage with its own route structure should be the focus of your stay in the area.
