Jaizkibel

One of the mythical ports of Basque cycling, as it forms part of the Clásica San Sebastián route and is one of the key places to decide the classification of this race.

On the Hondarribia slope, the first kilometers are on a gentle slope and through a chestnut forest. Arriving at the sanctuary of the Virgin of Guadalupe is the fountain of the same name. The last three kilometers are the hardest. At the crown you can continue to the antennas, barely a kilometer with percentages between 11 and 14%.

The Lezo slope begins with three very hard kilometers, with various horseshoe curves and ramps of more than 11%. Upon reaching the Arrokaundieta hostel, the slope softens until it reaches the top.

The Jaizkibel is an emblematic summit of the Spanish Basque Country. It culminates at 545 meters it offers beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and the first peaks of the Pyrenees. By bike, the pass is 455 meters away. A small relatively degraded road allows you to get closer to the antennas at the top.

The detour to the "summit" is worthwhile for even more panoramic views
