Description
Cape Matxitxako is the best place in the Basque Country to observe seabirds. When northwestern winds hit the shore, many marine species are dragged towards the Bay of Biscay. They can be seen from the old lighthouse. It's possible to see birds like Atlantic Puffin, Razorbill, Common Guillemot and Great Skua here.
