Two rivers run through this municipality in the comarca (county) of Arratia, the Ibaizabal and its tributary the Arratia. It is overlooked by the well-known crags of Peña Lemoa, the scene of bitter fighting during the Spanish Civil War, which left its hillsides strewn with dead.
Other mountains around the municipality include Aramotz and Arraño, made up largely of limestone. The beautiful church of Santa María de Lemoa is amazing because of its traces of a prior Romanesque temple, such as the columns of its facade. Moreover, there are several hermitages spread all over Lemoa: Santiago, San Martín, San Lorenzo, San Antolin and San Ignacio. The limekiln, Ziriboketa mill and the municipality's country houses complete its historical heritage. Lemoa presents, besides, a privileged landscape. Located near the Natural Park of Gorbeia, there are several routes that enable enjoying Lemoa's surroundings and some unbeatable views of Arratia region.
Lemoa holds different festivals during the year but its patron saint festival takes place at the end of July, consecrated to San Ignacio.
