The Road

There are several points along this stretch of the road where you may see an errant arrow or two pointing in a direction which doesn’t feel like the camino. This is because in years past the camino followed a different route into Gernika. Follow the freshest arrows and the wooden post signs. The official camino passes the Albergue in Olabe, through the forest to the Iglesia de Santo Tómas. Shortly beyond the church is where the old camino kept to the right and downhill to the nearby village. It now turns left and heads uphill to Marmiz. Note: If you turned the wrong way at the church, and ended up back on the road, there is no need to retrace your steps. There are arrows in the next town which will direct you along the old route to Gernika, a blend of countryside and pedestrian walkways.

Albergue is quite nice, dinner for 10 eur and not bad. Breakfast from 7.30 for maybe 4 or 5? The albergue opens at 3pm but there's a bar with food on the camino on the main road before turning right up the hill through the village.

Very nice Albergue, calm with beautiful views. Well organised,
