Four hundred seventeen kilometers of Basque spirit, from the coastal Irun to the historic Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The Camino Vasco del Interior winds through 10 stages, each a testament to centuries of history.
Encounter the scent of fresh bread in Hernani, the echoes of laughter in Tolosa, and the whisper of leaves in Zegama. With a total elevation gain of 6,318 meters, this trail challenges the body and rewards the soul.
Hike it from April to June or September to October, when the landscapes burst with life and the paths call for clarity.
