Lequeitio Attractions
C 6212 runs via Ereño to Lequitio, a little seaside resort and port (tunny fishing) beautifully situated in a bay sheltered by the rocky wooded island of San Nicolás.
Santa María de la Asunción
On the harbor in Lequeitio is the church of Santa María de la Asunción (14th-15th century), with filigree Gothic buttresses and a finely sculptured doorway; notable features of the interior are the extraordinary high altar and a Gothic retablo in the third chapel on the right. In a Baroque side chapel can be seen a simple 12th century wooden figure of Nuestra Señora de la Antigua, venerated as patroness of the town.
