The town of Balmaseda, the first founded in Bizkaia (year 1199), is located in a narrow gorge bathed by the Kadagua river. The historic center welcomes us across the Old Bridge and moves us back in time to a past of splendor.

In its cobbled alleyways the most diverse architectural styles coexist: churches, mansions, stately homes ... The church of San Severino and the town hall stand out, known as La mosque for its large Mudejar-inspired porch.

The Museum of History and the Interpretation Center of the Living Passion keep the traditions of the place alive and guide us through a journey dotted with secrets and surprises.
