Information
This is another stage marked by the unevenness that characterizes the mountainous environments. Today, we will alternate the landscape and the typical vegetation of the Atlantic mountain in Markina, with lush riverside paths that will give us strong shades of green, until the stage ends in Gernika, a town bombed on April 26, 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.
This stage is part of the Northern Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Northern Way from San Sebastián to Bilbao and Northern Way from Irún to Bilbao.
A stage steeped in history. From Markina you pass through Bolibar, ancestral home of the forebears of the liberator Simón Bolívar, and the monastery of Zenarruza, a jewel of Biscayan Gothic. After climbing the slope of Mount Oiz, a long descent takes you to Munitibar and finally to Gernika, the town Picasso immortalised in his most famous painting.
