You enter an industrial park… and you find yourself in a surprising place, a true haven of biodiversity.

Discover an experimental plantation spanning over 7 acres of organic hazelnut trees, complemented by the Errota Oil Mill's facilities, which are unique in the Basque Country and dedicated to the “processing” of the hazelnut harvest and the innovative transformation of hazelnuts into exceptional gourmet products.
