Happy Proximal Halloween. |
The towns in the Buruntzaldea, the region of Gipuzkoa that includes Lasarte-Oria, Usurbil, Andoain, and Urnieta, puts on an annual event to encourage people to get to know the area by hiking between the towns on marked paths. They provide maps and a return bus trip and various baubles. We started in Lasarte with the water birds of the Oria River. |
The gardens on the road to Zubieta are almost spent. |
The trails are color-coded and regularly marked. |
There was a pelota game in progress in Zubieta. |
Route markers AND paintball. |
