(WALKING TOUR)
Do you know that in Spain there are more than 7,600 kilometers (4,700 miles) of disused train lines that are transformed into trails? Since 1993, some of the old railway routes that had fallen into disuse have been converted into car-free routes, to be traveled by the local population, who use them on foot or by bicycle, as well as by cycle tourists and walkers.
The adventure that lies ahead gives us beautiful and healthy walks full of attractions – in addition to that generous nature – such as countless tunnels, bridges and stations. Former stops for travelers such as Latasa, Lekunberri and Leitza today appear as spots with much to offer the new traveler; tunnels like the Uitzi tunnel (2.7 km). Then in the coast, our way connects part of the northern Saint Jame´s way (Camino del Norte) along the cliffy coast around San Sebastian.
