\"EtxalarFrom Etxalar, I went to Bera de Bidasoa, and from there, I went down to the sea, to Hondarribia, to close the first section of the coast to coast trip. I got to the Atlantic Ocean through the Pyrenean Axis, after completing more than 1,000 km by mountain bike.<\/p>\n

Important alternative to the Transpyrenean route<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Etxalar, I haven’t taken the traditional Transpyrenean Route. My bike broke down yesterday and I don’t have the proper tools or replacement parts to fix it completely. I went to a repair shop specialized in bikes, Katea-Bike<\/strong>, in Bera de Bidasoa, to repair it. It was a good choice \u2014they are excellent professionals, and the prices are fair; at the bottom of the card, you’ll find the information.<\/p>\n

To go to Bera, we deviated quite a lot from the initial way, and did not pass by the French slope. The entire trip was along Spanish administration land, but we avoided the roads, and could go along a Greenway connecting Bertiz Natural Park with Ir\u00fan, passing by Bera. It is an alternative to the classic Transpyrenean tour; the difference is that the whole way is down, with a smooth slope with no difficulties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next graph shows the differences between the classic route \u2014right, blue line\u2014 and the alternative through the greenway \u2014left, green line.<\/p>\n

If we follow the GPS track I provide here, we get to Hondarribia, and then we go back to Ir\u00fan, where I spend the night in the municipal pilgrim hostel of the Way of St. James. At first, the traditional Transpyrenean tour ends here, but if we use the following track, we will get to Donostia\/San Sebasti\u00e1n, which is the final point of the new, extended Transpyrenean tour and of the Transpyr.<\/p>\n
