Route of the hermitages

This route takes us around the municipality of Leioa, visiting its three hermitages.
We set off from the Boulevard towards Mendibile, crossing Errekalde square and going up towards the promenade in the Ikea neighbourhood. We link up with the Santsoena promenade and descend towards Mendibile, and then head towards the Santi Mami hermitage passing through Kortasenabarri. We return to the main road to go up the Santsoena walk to the University. We take the turn-off towards the Kurkudi water reservoir, skirt it to the west and leave the old Dominican convent behind us. We continue through Zuhatzu and descend to Telleria, to climb up to the hermitage of San Bartolomé, passing through the Altzaga farmhouse. We descend through Basaiz and the Artatza lift to the Skate park and cross the parks of Pinosolo and Artatza to approach the neighbourhood of Ondiz and visit the chapel of Andra Mari. We descend to Txopoeta, pass by the old washing place and return to the starting point along Sabino Arana Avenue.
