In some places, looking at the map can make you feel lost.

For example, at (6) OpenStreetMap hiking (World) is much less explicit than IGN Spain when it comes to finding your way. Don't hesitate to juggle the two throughout your hike.

Sights: the mill, lime kilns and many magnificent trees.
The owners, Maïté and Martin, are charming and very welcoming. If you let them know a few days in advance, they can prepare a snack or small meal for you...there's even sleeping accommodation for 6 people. 034 686 25 39 58 or 034 943 96 93 35.
The Etxebertzeko Borda restaurant is a safe address.
