What to see and do in Lemoiz

Lemoiz
Village
Anteiglesia organized into three historic settlements —Urizar (the capital), Andracas, and the fishing village of Arminza— which had 268 inhabitants in the mid-19th century. It has 1,347 inhabitants (INE, 2025).
Central nuclear de Lemóniz
Historical milestone
Nuclear power plant whose construction was begun by Iberduero in 1972 at the Basordas cove. ETA, opposed to the plan to build nuclear plants along the Basque coast, murdered nine people connected with the works between 1978 and 1982, among them the engineers José María Ryan (January 1981) and Ángel Pascual Múgica (5 May 1982). The plant was halted, having never entered service, by the nuclear moratorium of the 1983 National Energy Plan, approved on 28 March 1984.
Fortín del Peñón de Gaztelu
Historical milestone
Coastal fortification built in the 18th century as part of the defence of the Lordship of Biscay, which had disappeared by the first third of the 19th century.
Puerto y ensenada de Arminza
Nature
Protected natural cove on Lemoiz's coastline, alongside a coast of cliffs and rocky coves, favourable for observing marine wildlife.
Fiestas de San Francisco en Andraka
Activity
Festival of the Andraka district with stone-dragging competitions, one of several festive dates on Lemoiz's calendar alongside the Virgen del Carmen in Arminza (16 July) and Andra Mari in Urizar (15 August).
