easy route

Good starting point for many routes.

Read the history of "the Fridge" (la nevera) below the map on the information board next to this shelter, built over the filled-in historic snow pit which served to provide ice to locals.

In the Landaederra recreational area there is a shelter and a non-potable water source, as well as barbecues and tables. It is a good place to stop before continuing the walk.

This green area is a haven of peace ideal for taking a break along the way. In addition to the hermitage of San Ignacio, which is located inside it, there are numerous picnic tables and some grills if you want to eat. From here it is very easy to climb to the top of Belatxikieta.

Belonging to Lea-Artibai region, Ziortza-Bolibar is located near the frontier with Gipuzkoa, sheltered by Mount Oiz (1,026 m). The municipality consists of two main towns: Ziortza (Cenarruza), where one of the oldest religious spots is situated, and Bolibar, formerly known as La Puebla de Bolibar. Collegiate Church of Zenarruza Departing from Bolibar town centre, a road leads to the Collegiate Church of Zenarruza, one of the most important historic spots throughout the Way of St. James along the coast. Declared Basque National Monument, this is the only collegiate church in Bizkaia. It is formed by several buildings such as the church, the cloister, the abbot's house, the pilgrims' hospital (today a hostel), the fences, the settlers' houses, the calvary, the medieval road and the eastern and western gates. Bolibar is famous all over the world due to the fact that Libertador Simón Bolívar's ancestors, historic leader of American independence, came from here. Nowadays, his old family home, the Caserío Errementarikua, houses the Simón Bolívar Museum. There, we will know every details of this celebrity's life and, this way, we can immerse in history for some moments. Next to the museum there is a bust of the Libertador, donated by the Venezuelan government. At the porch of Santo Tomas church (built between the 17th and 18th c.) there is a chapel with an image of Nuestra Señora de Coromoto, patron saint of Venezuela. Furthermore, in Ziortza-Bolibar we can visit the interesting neighbourhoods Zeinka and Arta. In this last one we will find the old chapel San Pedro (11th c.), which has a Mozarabic window built in one of its walls and carved in sandstone. https://tourism.euskadi.eus/en/towns/ziortza-bolibar/aa30-12375/en/

The Refrigerator or Neberondo is a relatively abundant construction in these mountain places, whose function was to accumulate snow in the winter to supply ice to the surrounding populations during the rest of the year. A very interesting place to access because today it has a very different function: a free refuge with seats and a fireplace.

In the narrow house you can stay cheap. It is very well equipped. Basic supply is also well possible via the vending machine. Access to the house and rooms with code that the owner sends.
