The starting point for this hike is located at the Socoa car park along the Utxin. To get to this starting point by car, see the "Practical information" section below.
(S/E) Return to the departmental road at the bridge over the river and turn left.
(1) Please note: road closed in August 2025. Then take the first street on the left, Rue de Socoa. At the junction, follow the street on the right (which is a no-entry road for cars). It quickly turns into a dirt track (Chemin de Bizargorri). Join the D913 at the Socoa slip road.
(2) Cross the tarmac road with caution (no protected crossing) and take the path opposite. You will soon reach another tarmac road (Chemin de Kauterabaita), which you should follow to the left. Negotiate the right-hand bend and stay on the road, ignoring the path that branches off to the left.
(3) About 50 metres further on, leave the road and take the path on the left. You will reach another path; follow it to the right. Ignore the path branching off to the left further on.
(4) Go straight ahead, pass a large building on your left and leave the access to a house on your right.
(5) At the three-way junction (not shown on the IGN map), continue straight ahead until you reach a crossroads.
(6) Take thesecond road on the right called Etxail Borda Berri (sign). Ignore several turnings on both sides, pass Bordaberri and then Antziola.
(7) Turn right onto a dirt track alongside a wire fence. Cross the pretty bridge over the Mentaberri stream on the right and walk alongside the Eskualduna campsite on your right.
(8) Cross the Corniche Road (D912), which in 2024 is not yet closed to traffic. Go straight ahead, pass close to the Basque Corniche House Asporotsttipi and continue to see the superb view of the sea and coves (E).
