The Bidasoa is a short river which runs through Navarre and the Basque Country and forms the border between Spain and France on its way to Irun. It is best known precisely for its role as an international border and because of the railway which follows its course. The Bidasoa Greenway recovers much of the route of the Tren Txikito (Little Train) which used to run from Elizondo to Irun, and provides an unforgettable journey some 39 km long which takes us through some beautiful villages of Guipúzcoa and Navarre on the banks of the river Bidasoa. IMPORTANT! In 2011 repair work is being carried out on the Greenway between Igantzi and Lesaka. Care needs to be taken in this section, which remains usable. In 2011 and 2012 there will also be some major improvement works on the section shared by the Eurovelo 1 bike route (Behobia-Doneztebe/Santesteban). In the Sunbilla section it is necessary to respect livestock traffic and be careful with the little motor traffic there is. The old track is the access to the country houses on the Greenway’s route . |
