Bermeo - The Fisheries Museum

(Local Name: Museo del Pescador) Bermeo, originally a Roman foundation, is the most important fishing port on the Cantabrian coast. The Fisheries Museum has an interesting collection which includes models, fishing equipment and fittings from fishing boats. It is housed in the Torre Ercilla (now a protected monument), which was once occupied by the adventurer and poet Alonso de Ercilla (1533-94).
