Enkarterri, Historical comarca in western Biscay, Spain

Enkarterri extends across valleys enclosed by karstic mountain ranges, containing numerous caves formed through centuries of water erosion in limestone formations.

The region functioned as an iron production center during medieval times, with water-powered foundries transforming local iron ores into metal products.

The Casa de Juntas de Abellaneda in Sopuerta holds documents and exhibits detailing the political gatherings of regional representatives through centuries.

The comarca connects to Cantabria through western routes while maintaining proximity to Bilbao through the Kadagua River valley system.

Torre Loizaga houses Europe's largest private collection of Rolls-Royce automobiles, displaying 45 vehicles manufactured between 1910 and 1998.
