  Create. Beauty.

  When we began to design the idea of working and enjoying our life in a hotel, we never thought about many of the things that have happened to us in these years of preparations. One of the most special has been meeting Vicente, our fellow potter and ceramic designer. Vicente is now from Bermeo, although he was born in Ciudad Real. Fate made Bermeo attract him.

  When we began to design the idea of working and enjoying our life in a hotel, we never thought about many of the things that have happened to us in these years of preparations and journeys. One of the most special has been meeting Vicente, our fellow potter and ceramic designer. Vicente is now from Bermeo, although he was born in Ciudad Real. Fate made Bermeo attract him.
  
  Vicente makes his creations very close to the Nafarrola Hotel, just a kilometer away, in a place with character, tranquility that is truely real. We love visiting you. The magic of his habitat seduces us. Creativity and methodology. Craft is the word, purity the result.
  
  If you are lucky enough to know him, you will perceive from his words the tranquility and wisdom that underpin his creations. Pause molded with touch and touch molded with pause. A symbiosis that bears fruit in beauty.
  
  You can find it whenever you visit us, whether in his creation space or here at the Nafarrola Hotel through his creations. Every Christmas period he usually establishes a point of sale in the market of artisan creators in Bilbao's "Arenal" area. We were very lucky to cross his path, we hope you can find him too.

  The Place: Matxitxako

  Matxitxako is a synonym for strength. A resounding and wild place that reveals stories of Land and Sea, of lights and shadows and a place where one feels so small as to be able to get lost and find oneself.

  When people who visit us begin to plan their trip and the activities they want to do to get to know our region, many make San Juan de Gaztelugatxe an obligatory stop. And Matxitxako, which combs the wildest winds of the Basque coast just a few kilometers away, is usually relegated to the chance of finding it.
  
  Matxitxako is the northernmost point of the Basque coast. A magical place, with tragic stories such as the civil war battle that bears its name and a place with wonderful views that can be enjoyed when the weather is good, being able to see Iparralde or the island of Santa Clara de San Sebastián itself.
  
  A place subjected to the scourge of storms and where the force of nature makes you feel small observing the immensity of the sea.
  This is a place where from spring to autumn many people gather every afternoon to observe one of the most magical sunsets in the area next to the Akatz Rock and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
  
  It is a cape with two lighthouses, the old one converted into a cetacean observatory, and the one that currently functions as such, maintaining the safety of ships that cross the Bay of Biscay. Whoever doesn't move and seems to be playing mus with Matxitxako as if it were a game between old sea dogs, is the La Gaviota platform, which you will remember from your time at the hotel. Matxitxako is the closest point with solid ground from which you can observe the size of La Gaviota.
  
  Matxitxako, like Bermeo, is a point on the map where it seems that the paths that lead us to it end there. But no... they are just the beginning of a great plan.
