Route 8. Karrantza and Dolomitas del Norte

Caves, Adventure and Dolmitas

Heading into the Karrantza Valley, we recommend some more experiences that will be interesting for your route through Bizakai’s industrial heritage. Although some of the proposals stray away from the main theme, they are worth the trip once you’re in the area

We recommend going by

  • andar
  • coche

While you can go by train from Abando station, since the places you’ll visit are a bit far from one another, taking a private vehicle is the easiest option.There are three ways: by the Cadagua Corridor, through Muskiz-Sopuerta or, the most recommendable, along the coast.

Take the A-8 toward Santander, exit at Colindres and then take the N-629 to Burgos-Logroño. Once you reach Gibaja, you’ll find a detour on the left that reads Carranza (C-630).

bbk Karpin Fauna

It is located in the neighbourhood of Biañez. The animals here belong to 55 different species. Here you’ll find animals injured on illegal hunting trips as well as those that cannot survive in the wild and were given up by individual or institutions.
