Described as one of the most significant Rolls-Royce collections in the world,[1] it contains 45 Rolls-Royce cars in three pavilions, in a total of 75 cars on display. Its most significant cars are an 1899 Allen Runabout, and a rare 1956 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, originally owned by HH Abdullah III Al-Salim Al-Sabah, Hakim of Kuwait.
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
[edit]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]
