Mandubia-Larrarte-Garin-Astigarreta PR-Gi 55
A circular route that starts at the top of Mandubia and heads towards the neighbourhoods of Garin and Astigarreta, which belong to Beasain. In the past, many walkers passed through Garin and Astigarreta, forgotten neighbourhoods in our region, on their way to Mandubia or Beasain.
Arriaran dam tour
This circular tour begins on the dam of the Arriaran dam.
In the route we will see the sculpture of the famous Basque sculptor of the 20th century Nestor Basterretxea. It is an easy route, plain, suitable for children and that in many times crosses areas between trees, so it protects us from the sun on hot days. In the last kilometre of the route the trail running next to the swamp comes to an end and we will have to continue along the road that connects Salbatoreh with Mandubia, a road that passes through the neighborhoods of Astigarreta and Garin, belonging to the town of Beasain.
It is a very short road and the route does not even pass through the neighborhoods mentioned above.
You can park on the side of the road where the itinerary begins.

Cross the XII century bridge and you enjoy an impressive view of Mount Txindoki. Then admire the Igartza Palace (XV c.) -nowadays the Conference Centre and Auditorium-, continue through the old foundry (XIII c.), the windmill (XIII c.) still in use today and the Dolarea (XVII c.), which used to be a tavern, a lodge, a shop, and a hospital.
