| The port of '''Capo Arena''' is the site of the original town. It is located on the western banks of the '''Ordino''' county at the highest tidal reach of the ocean that ships can access. It was open to ships until the nineteenth century and was also a trading port which was particularly active in its routes with Spain and France. The decline of trade in the port began with the arrival of the railway in 1862 and today it is a marina and port of call on tours of the [[Wikipedia:Bay_of_Biscay|Bay of Biscay]].
