My tip“The mountain road is narrow and hard to pass; drive with care. Two more car parks lower down the road if this one fills up. Take your rubbish back with you.”
A meadow and car park in a beech and pine forest on the slopes of Mount Gorbeia, the highest peak in Biscay, with toilets and open spaces for picnics. From it, trails lead to the Itxina karst maze.
Easy to reach, needs a car
About 45 minutes by car from Bilbao via Areatza; free parking and toilets. Good shade.
Barbecue
Not allowed: no fires or barbecues at all; picnic with ready food only.
