Start of the Cycle Highway

Highlight • Cycleway

Magnificent cycle path between Barakaldo and La Arena. The pavement is in very good condition and the lanes are wide and segregated from the road.

A large beach with dark sand, next to the mouth of the Barbadún river. It has sand that stains because it comes from rocks with iron ore.
