INTRODUCTION / Urdaibai Bird Center

The Urdaibai Bird Center is a state of the art museum and observation point from which visitors can enjoy the world of birds and their migratory journeys. Once a fish canning factory, the center is located in the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and houses an audio-guided exhibition and an observation platform equipped with telescopes.

The center opened its doors to the public in 2012 and is managed by the Aranzadi Society of Sciences, an organization which has over 60 years of experience in the research and dissemination of human and natural sciences.

Set in a stunning location overlooking the marshes, the Urdaibai Bird Center is a fantastic place to learn about birds and observe them in their natural habitat.
