Ganguren

Monte Ganguren rises to 477 meters in elevation, forming part of the mountain chain that separates the valleys of Ibaizabal and Nervión from Asua.

During medieval times, a chapel dedicated to Santa Marina stood at the summit, documented in 1591 but believed to date back to the 11th century.

Three hermit sisters lived in separate mountains including Ganguren, communicating between themselves according to regional tales passed through generations.

The mountain features multiple hiking trails, including an 8-kilometer family route and a 17-kilometer extended path introduced during the Etxebarri Mendi Martxa event.

From the summit, visitors can observe El Abra, the Cantabrian coast, and the peaks of Durangaldea while surrounded by Monterey and Insignis pine forests.
