.

The museum is open from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM during the summer, and costs €7 for adults, and €3 for children between 12 and 18 years of age.

Transport

Located 45mins drive from Bilbao, most reviews suggest that an authorised tour bus is both the easiest way to get there, and to find the hard to locate castle.^[2]

If travelling by car, exit the Autovía A-8 at Abanto y Ciérvana-Abanto Zierbena, and head south on the N-634 towards Las Carreras and Somorrostro Muskiz. On reaching Somorrostro Muskiz, take the BI-2701 south towards Sopuerta. Then take the BI-3631 East towards Galdames Güeñes (second road marked to Galdames Guenes), to kilometre marker 33, and then take mud track south marked towards Torre Loizaga.^[3]
