The Animated or Painted Forest is in Kortezubi, near the small neighbourhood of Oma. The Bilbao sculptor and artist Agustín Ibarrola painted it in 1984. He wanted to stress a new connection between nature and art by linking the works of Palaeolithic artists with the modern movement known as Land Art.

To get there from the Santimamiñe caves, go past the Caserío Lezika and the grassy corner where the rabbits are running about, and then on up the hill and into the woods.

The Basque country is a wonderful area, completely unlike the rest of Spain. Much of the time, when you look around at the countryside, you might well think you were in the Alps. It really is a separate place.
