January 2023
1. ELORRIO
At the Elorrio exit, take the Bilbao-Durango direction. It is worth stopping at Axpe-Atxondo, in the shadow of Amboto, the magic mountain.
2. AXPE-ATXONDO
From there it is only a few kilometres to Amorebieta-Etxano, so keep an eye out for the signs to Gernika. Before you get to Gernika, follow the signs to Muxika.
The narrow, winding road passes through vineyards, farmhouses and woods. Stop in Morga, stretch your legs and take a breath.
3. MORGA
Continue towards Mungia and you will pass Fruiz, with its old ironworks and curious basalt outcrop.
4. MUNGIA
Once in Mungia, stroll through the town centre, visit Landetxo Goikoa, a 16th-century farmhouse declared a Cultural Asset, and Torrebillela, a 14th-century tower.
5. PLENTZIA
Enjoy the road to Plentzia, with its beach and bridge over the Butrón estuary, its picturesque old town, its small marina and promenade.
