Balmaseda – Arbalitza

Description

MTB cycling route, leaving from the old quarter of Balmaseda, the oldest town in Bizkaia, to head for the summit Cima de Arbalitza (683 m). The route enters the Barranco de La Angostura ravine along a thick path that runs between hazelnut, oak and chestnut trees, and which narrows at times (hence the name).

From here ,we continue the ascent, leaving behind peaks such as Trasmosomos (also known as Espaldaseca) or Alto de la Celadilla.

The ascent affords us unbeatable panoramic views of Balmaseda… and a reproduction of the medieval bridge of Balmaseda that serves as a summit cairn.
