What to Know About Elantxobe

Key Facts

Elantxobe is a small coastal town and municipality located within the Busturialdea-Urdaibai comarca (district) in the province of Vizcaya, part of the autonomous community of the Basque Country, Spain. It is situated on the rugged coastline of the Bay of Biscay, nestled dramatically on the steep slopes of Mount Ogoño, which plunges directly into the sea. This unique geographical position makes Elantxobe one of the most picturesque and vertically oriented fishing villages in the region. The town covers a very compact area of approximately 1.9 square kilometers and has a small population of around 350 residents, reflecting its intimate, community-focused character. Historically and economically centered on fishing, its harbor is famously sheltered by the imposing cliffs of Ogoño, creating a natural breakwater. Administratively, as a municipality, Elantxobe does not contain further official sub-regions; it is governed as a single entity. The town is renowned for its traditional Basque architecture, with colorful houses stacked terraced-like on the hillside, and its narrow, steep streets that offer stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea.
