Bidasoa Greenway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

It is one of the bridges on the route. It is preferable to use a flashlight inside, since there is not good lighting. On some occasions there are water leaks, which gives it a more interesting point when crossing it.

The medieval road offers the opportunity for a beautiful walk in the middle of the Basque countryside. You will be happy to be on a mountain bike because of the cobblestones!
