Route description:

This time, in honor of the arrival of spring, from mendivueltas we have designed a super itinerary in which we want to showcase some of the most spectacular rock formations that we can find in Urbasa: the Arleze cave and its unique sinkhole, the immense Lezaundi cavity, the view of the cliffs of Mount Ollide from San Adrián and the Portupekoleze cave arch.

Urbasa is always good!!!
