We’re now entering Guipuzcoa.
The final stage of the ZBP, we take to the road to rest our legs, which are beginning to tire, particularly after the effort of the previous stage. Even so, there's still a lot of climbing and several small passes to cross. Here, Zazpiak Bat Packing takes you into cycling

This is the big chapter in this journey through the Basque Country.
Along with the second day, this is one of the most demanding stages, not only in terms of length and elevation gain, but also in terms of technical navigation and terrain.
What better way to warm up and get into the mood than a mountain

On the fifth stage, we begin our ascent towards the Atlantic coast. We're back on Basque soil, in Alava to be precise. It's a short stage, but it's spiced up by some steep sections and attractive descents. To get around to the north of Arnedo, we take the road to Villar de Arnedo, then turn off onto

This is one of the most iconic stages, as we cross the famous Bardenas desert. Let's face it, the Bardenas is a gravel paradise.
A unique place, the desert always has a dreamlike quality, especially at sunrise or sunset. At every little house or canyon bend, you expect Clint to appear with his squinty

During the third stage, the scenery undergoes a radical transformation. After the green hills of the Basque Country and the dense woodland of Iraty, we’re now in a sun-drenched region, where yellow dominates and heat gradually takes hold.
We start the stage by criss-crossing the fields of Navarre. As

On the first day, the Zazpiak Bat trail takes you through three provinces, Labourd, Lower Navarre and Soule.
From Bayonne to Urt, the going is straightforward, as we follow the cycle path along the Adour. Then, it's time to get down to business. At Guiche, we branch off inland and attack our beloved

A big slap in the face on the second day.
This second stage may look impressive on paper, but it sure is demanding! However, the scenery, the quality of the trails and the feed stations along the way make this one of the most exhilarating sections, if not the most exhilarating, of the route.
