Alto de Ixua
Ixua from Etxebarria is a long and steady climb that goes in the direction of Eibar. The gradients are never extreme, but the ascent feels relentless as it winds up through open hillsides toward the pass. It is a classic training climb in the Basque Country, often used to build rhythm and endurance rather than explosive power.
