This very easy itinerary is ideal for families or those not used to long hikes.

The hiker will be able to enjoy the beautiful houses with their typical architecture but also a green setting where the Manex sheep graze against the backdrop of the first peaks of the Basque Country. A village known for its red pepper, the passage near the interpretation center of the Espelette pepper and the workshop of the Espelette pepper offers to the walker the possibility of knowing more about this plant originating from South America and brought to the Basque Country in 1650.
