Return to the beaches
of Urdaibai

Return to the beaches of Urdaibai:

From Gernika we head towards Munitibar, where we turn left to take the road to Lekeitio, which runs parallel to the river Lea and its route. It’s well worth taking a break and visiting this beautiful coastal town.

From Lekeitio we head towards Ereño, from where we descend to the town of Ibarrangelu and its famous beaches of Laga and Laida. Before returning to Gernika, we can stop in Kanala to enjoy the magnificence of Urdaibai and its marshes.
