Leaving the Hotel car park, turn left and go down along the BI-4207 asphalt highway for approximately 200 metres. Then turn right and go down a gravel and cement path.
Leave the “Caserío Madariaga” starting out on your left and take the gravel path which you will then walk along for approximately two kilometres.
At the end of the gravel path, continue straight ahead along an asphalted road which will take you to Lurdiea rural country house.
You will leave the abovementioned rural country house to your right. Continue along the asphalted road towards a poultry farm located on the left hand side of the road.
Right before reaching the poultry farm and to the right of the road, you will take a forest trail (the trail always to the right)…
… which will take you to an open field from where you can see the village of Bermeo.
Cross this open field until you come across the “Tribisburu Roman Settlement”.

Approximately 300 metres before reaching the top, turn right,
and take the cement track which leads to a wooden gate.
Laterally sidestep that gate and go down a compacted pebble track for about 4 kilometres
until you reach another green wooden gate.
Cross the gate and take the forest trail which is to the left of this gate, which runs parallel to the BI-3123 highway that links the towns of Arrieta and Busturia.
Walk 2 kilometres along that track until you reach a picnic area, where you will take the pebble track leading upwards towards the top of Mount Sollube.

Walk straight ahead along this cement track towards the top of Mount Burgoa,
on your right you will see the village of Bermeo.
Upon descending from the top of Mount Burgoa, walk towards a concrete constructed guard post which, on its left, makes way to a concrete road that leads to San Pelayo Chapel.
