Location of Ea in Biscay.

Ea is located on the coast, 50 km northeast from Bilbao, in the bottom of a tiny estuary that breaks through the cliffs of the Bay of Biscay.

The Ea river crosses the town, which has three bridges, the oldest one being the so called "Roman Bridge" (featured in the coat of arms) that is really a medieval one.

There is a small fishing port, but the predominant activities of the town are agriculture, silviculture and cattle , with many farms disperse around the typically basque countryside.
