Errenteria
Errenteria combines a medieval quarter with riverside industrial heritage near Pasaia. Come for a town walk shaped by tower houses, clothing history and the former working landscape of the Oiartzun River.

The contrast between the old quarter and Fanderia mill makes Errenteria useful for understanding how river towns developed around trade and manufacture. Its Spanish name, Rentería, grew from royal taxes collected on iron exports. Kapitainenea adds clothing history to a visit otherwise rooted in stone buildings and water-powered work.
What to look for
Tower houses stand among the streets of the medieval quarter.
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción anchors the historic centre.
San Marcos fort overlooks San Sebastián and Pasaia.
Useful to know
Follow the riverside cycle path towards Fanderia to connect the town walk with its industrial history.
Plan San Marcos separately from the riverside sights; it is a hilltop viewpoint.
