About Elciego

Spain’s Basque Country boasts breathtaking beaches, world-class cuisine, an independent spirit, what is believed to be the oldest living language in Europe, Euskara, and two Frank Gehry-designed structures, the most famous being the Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa. However, the world-renowned architect also designed the Hotel Marqués de Riscal, a unique and ultra-contemporary building in historic Elciego that is the town's most iconic structure.
