Itinerary description

Circular hike from Hermigua, reachable by bus from San Sebastián, bus leaves around 10:30, goes back at 18:30, on working days anyway.

Not too long, but quite strenuous. I would recommend taking walking poles to spare your knees a bit. To start out, there's a fairly long near-vertical ascent, but the views are worth it. The descent is also quite steep and can be slippery if it's wet. There is a bit of road walking, but not too much.

The views are amazing and the scenery and vegetation really varied.

Followed Ruta circular 34 at the beginning, mostly GR 132 on the way back.

Worth a visit if you have the time. It's free, there's a couple of small but interesting exibits, toilets, a small shop where you can get cold drinks, coffee and traditional biscuits, as well as an information desk with very helpful staff.

The view must be special in clear weather. Might be worth it to stick around a bit, the clouds move fast. It's free to enter.

Something completely different. The trail is not so well marked here, but it's a short section.
