Explore the charm of medieval architecture in a village
Pilgrimage along Spain's Atlantic Coast ~ Gipuzkoa Region
The Cantabrian coast is a popular tourist destination known for its beaches and natural marshlands, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching. The golden sandy stretches of Trengandín Beach and Ris Beach, spanning several kilometers, are the main attractions in Noja. Two tips: during low tide, take a walk on the moon-like terrain and enjoy the breathtaking sunset. If you love diving, we recommend Trengandín Beach, while Ris Beach is perfect for surfing and canoeing.
The surrounding natural environment is stunning, serving as an important nature reserve that attracts thousands of birds annually. The village itself features many traditional stone houses, a medieval bridge, a church, fountains, a sand mill, and more.
Make the most of your trip by tasting the local specialties, especially "nécora" (a type of small crab), as well as grilled anchovies or sardines. Remember, many local festivals are celebrated during the summer (San Juan Festival on June 24, San Pedro Festival on June 29, Our Lady of Carmen Festival on July 16, and the Martyrs' Festival in the last week of August).
