Inland Bakio

Discover the rural charm of Inland Bakio, walking through meadows and vineyards to visit historic landmarks like the Parish Church and Romanesque Chapel.
From the post office (close to the Town Hall) we walk to the Basigo district, the original settlement of Bakio, which is now home to the Parish Church of Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción and the magnificent Baroque stately homes of Elexpuru and Hormaza, which stand in a rural setting of meadows and vine yards, which we will walk down through to the bottom of the valley. Here the route rises up amid woodland through the Artzalde district to visit the Romanesque Chapel of San Miguel in Zumetzaga (Mungia). In the latter part of our walk we will cross the Estepona river to head towards the Zubiaur district, a beautiful composition of popular architecture including Tabernazar, the oldest farmhouse in Bakio. Lastly, the path takes us back to our starting point passing by the chapels of San Martín and Santa Catalina and the for mer mill forge of Bekoerrota-Bengolea.
