Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
First cycling stage of the Inland Basque Way, which starts in Irun (border with France) and heads inland through Gipuzkoa following the Oria river valley. The 36 km route combines greenways (Plazaola, former railroad) with stretches of secondary road, crossing Hernani, Andoain and Villabona in an Atlantic landscape of Basque farmhouses, green meadows and oak forests. Tolosa, historical capital of Gipuzkoa until 1854, preserves a medieval old town, traditional Saturday market and is famous for its black beans.
