Las Gobas

Historic cave dwellings in the Basque Country

Las Gobas is a historic cave settlement in the Basque Country, consisting of dwellings and religious spaces carved directly into sandstone rock. Dating from the early medieval period, the site provides evidence of settlement, daily life, and religious activity within this part of northern Spain.

Located within the landscapes of Álava and close to the GR® 38 Wine & Fish Route, Las Gobas sits among the valleys, hills, and rural routes that connect places across the Basque Country. Today, the site forms part of a wider network of historic places, routes, and landscapes that help define the character of the region.
