La Encartada Beret Factory Museum in Balmaseda

The La Encartada Beret Factory Museum exhibits manufacturing machinery, production tools, and artifacts from the regional textile industry within its original industrial building.

Established in 1892, the factory operated for a century until 1992, when it ceased production and later reopened as a museum in 2007.

The museum displays traditional Basque beret manufacturing techniques, industrial processes, and the social impact of textile production on local communities.

Visitors can access guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during summer months and special arrangements for group visits.

The facility maintains its complete original production line, allowing guests to observe the entire beret manufacturing process from raw wool to finished product.
