Information about the trail

Lea Naturbidea follows the course carved by the river itself, a natural route just waiting to be enjoyed by visitors and travellers alike. As you follow the trail you will always feel the presence of the river.

Not only because you can see its waters from the path and it will cool you down when the heat becomes oppressive, but also because it is the lifeblood of the surrounding natural world, giving life to trees, plants and animals.

And also because you can swim in it, bathing both in salt water near the sea and in fresh water further inland. And all to the backdrop of the Basque language!
