The Santa Cruz Route

Discover the Santa Cruz Route, a scenic path starting from the Church of San Lorenzo, leading to Santa Kurtze and Jata. Enjoy stunning views of Maruri-Jatabe...

This route starts from the Church of San Lorenzo, taking us to the most characteristic and best-loved spots by local residents: Santa Kurtze and Jata. This path crosses the Kurtzegana district and climbs little by little until it reaches the top of Santa Kurtze, where there are still some remains of the site of the chapel of the same name. We go back a few metres to return to the zig-zagging path which will take us to the peak of the Jata, the mountain from which the town takes its name and which stands out for its characteristic aerial topped with a white ball on the pinnacle. Both hilltops offer beautiful views of Maruri-Jatabe and the surrounding towns and villages. The return trip is back the way we came.
