It is entirely dedicated to leisure and becoming increasingly important for marine sports and recreational fishing.

Once the town was founded, nobles such as the Butr\u00f3n, M\u00fagica and Ingelesena families settled here to trade goods with other regions.

This was extracted from the Somorrostro mines and transported along the estuary to the Butron forges in Gatika. Once the metal was sold, it was transported to Bilbao and distributed from there to several ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
