Hotel Atalaya

Hotel Description

The building that houses the hotel Atalaya was built in 1911. It has been a hotel since 1987 and is listed as of architectural interest. Its aesthetic is inspired by the English architecture of the time. The hotel Atalaya staff is keen to make your stay a happy one, here in one of the most ‘family’ of Vizcaya’s small hotels. You couldn’t better the position, either, right by the fish market and a step from the beach of a deep inlet carved by the Cantabrian sea. An open galleried frontage lets in the ever-changing light, encouraging contemplation of sand, sea and the church tower of Santa María. Some rooms face the sea but trees obscure the view,. This would be a good place to spend a night en route to the ferry, and your car should be safe in the car park. It’s a great launchpad from which to explore the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and the magnificent coastline, while the stunning and world-famous Guggenheim Museum is just over an hour by train; the station is five minutes away.
