Protected by the rugged green slopes of Euskadi, the Leizaran Valley cuts a quiet, verdant ribbon through northern Spain. Here, the Leitzaran Bisitarien Etxea invites riders to take on the historic Plazaola railway greenway, a transformed rail corridor threading through dense woodlands, mossy riverbanks, and intriguingly scattered prehistoric monuments.

The path follows old steel tracks repurposed into a smooth, mostly flat greenway that suits riders of all skill levels. Whether you take a family-friendly standard bike or opt for an electric pedal-assist option, the journey rewards you with views of moss-covered dolmens and megalithic sites dating back thousands of years, shadowed by soaring deciduous forests rich in native oak and beech trees.
