Our route begins in the centre: the Libao district. In the square you can visit the Church of San Martín. We begin our climb through the Perris area. A landscape of pine and eucalyptus forests. It is important to point out that at this stage we are guided by the red and white markings of the GR-280 on its way through this village on high. Likewise, in the Agirre neighborurhood, there is a rest area for us to gather our strength, have a drink of water and something to eat and to tie up our bootlaces tightly to continue with the walk. Once we reach the Ikesta crossroads, we carry on towards Sollube to get to its summit along the path the villagers use on St. Ignatius’ day, on their pilgrimage to San Juan of Gaztelugatxe. From here on, just before the crossroads, the signs marking our path are only white, leaving the GR to the left, towards Meñaka. Once the climb is over, we can get our strength back in the Sollube rest area. Our way back down will be along the tracks in the forests of the Provincial Council of Biscay. Once we pass the Otzagarai rest area, we continue along the path until we come back to our starting point.
