For more than a month the Basque Country is suffering heavy storms. The last warning we have received is for this afternoon when it is expected that the waves will be as high as 10m. It means that the fishermen will once again not be able to do their job. Even bigger ships have to be carefull. Last month a big ships broke into two pieces when it tried to enter into the harbour of Hendaya in the south of France, just a two hours drive away from here. It was a relatively new ship. 

So far the winter hasn't been very cold and the mimosas are flowering for quite a few weeks already but there have been plenty of damages caused by several storms and hughe waves. We keep our fingers crossed and hope that soon the weather changes in order that our guests can admire the singular landscape of Urdaibai and surroundings.

Starting at Easter the Centre of Alternative Energies can be visited in Munitibar (some 14 km away from Gernika). It has been installed on the grounds of an old foundry of iron. Some 200 years ago Munitibar was an important village with several foundries.
