What a beautiful Park4Night spot (#11466). Breathtaking sunset and great views. We decided to cycle the Jaizkibel (popular climb) here. We had a stop in Irun for a 'Brioche' at a bakery. There were some busy parts on this route we personally found but the climb makes up for it!

In the first third, there are many small but steep climbs that are barely visible on the elevation profile. One was 25%, so I even had to dismount. It went straight through the vineyards, constantly up and down. The last climb was at least moderately steep and all in one go 😉
