MOUNTAIN BIKE ON THE GREENWAY OF VASCO NAVARRO FROM OCTOBER 10 TO 12

This October Bridge we propose a bike trip in Alava and Navarra. Our destiny: Vitoria and the old Basque Navarro railway.

The construction of a line that would link those then known as Vascongadas with Navarra, dates back to 1882, although it was not inaugurated until 1927. It linked the stations of the Jacobean town of Estella in Navarra, with that of Mekolalde in Guipúzcoa, passing through Vitoria . It crosses the entire province of Álava from north to southeast and enters through the Llanada and Montaña Alavesa to Tierra Estella.

It stopped working on New Year's Eve 1967. Today it is a wonderful Green Way perfect for our bike tours.

He left us as a legacy a station, a witness to that time when the train was a fundamental means of transportation. The "Old English" artistic style of the 19th century shaped the buildings that watched over the train's progress. The train was known as "the crabber" that crossed a landscape of soft colors and cereal lands that unfold around this route pierced between mountains.
The Arquijas Gorge is very striking. It is a ravine wedged between the Sierra de Loquiz and the rocks of Costalera. The passage is crossed by a viaduct with nine arches and 30 meters high. An impressive work of engineering with echoes of war that recalls the first Carlist war and one of its protagonists, General Zumalacárregui.

Although without a doubt the strong points of the route are Estella and the Camino de Santiago y Vitoria, European green capital, a welcoming city that offers us outstanding gastronomy and where we can enjoy its famous pintxos.
