The Galea Fort

After visiting the Mill Aixerrota and while touring the Paseo de La Galea, we came next to a cliff to see the Prince Castle (or Fort La Galea). Despite the cold we wanted to walk because the scenery and the view with different colors in the sky sky deserved it. So, we left the car close to the mill, all the way up to the car park the driveway is made of stone tiles, it has wooden benches and good lights. Along the cliff stands a XVIII century fortress construction, by Jaime Sycre, began in 1742 and it was built in order to protect commercial traffic of the port of Bilbao which was under threat from a major British fleet that roamed the area.
