Artzanburu: A Hike Full of Surprises

The day started early after a long night of partying—a less-than-ideal prelude for an intense mountain adventure. Our group gathered in Brinkola, a quaint Basque village, as the starting point. Some arrived by train from Donostia, while I drove in from my nearby town. Once assembled, we packed our backpacks, including baguettes—a humorous moment for our French companions, who were visibly pained by how we treated their sacred bread.
