Sukarrieta, in the heart of Urdaibai, celebrates St Andrew’s Day
The beautiful surroundings of Sukarrieta offer visitors the chance to take long walks along its paths and get to know the beautiful landscape that surrounds this municipality located in the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve.
Sukarrieta's patron saint festivities are held at the end of November in honour of St. Andrew, and during these days the streets of the town are filled with a good atmosphere.
Church of Santa María de Leguendica
It is known to have existed since the 16th century. It consists of a nave without vaults, with five altars, an atrium and a front tower. The parish church of Santa María de Leguendico was founded by the owners of 14 houses, dependent on the parish of Gautegiz Arteaga. These were later joined by 16 houses that had parish membership in San Andrés de Sukarrieta and that decided, like the previous ones, to dismember from their parish church.
