[QUOTE="Dave, post: 190522, member: 441"] Hi Neve, Unfortunately, the alternative route is not drawn on the map. It's something that we need to amend in the next printing. What you're seeing (the black, dashed line) is the old railroad line. The alternative route actually follows this (now a gravel track) for a stretch. If you'd like some extra guidance, read on--I'll paste turn-by-turn directions below. The waymarks are generally good, though it gets a little confusing towards the end. Thanks for getting the book, Dave Elorriaga to Deba [LIST] [*]Turn L into Elorriaga and then R immediately after reaching asphalt, following red/white stripes [LIST] [*]Curve R around house [/LIST] [*]Proceed 1.35km along trail/dirt road, passing through a pine grove [LIST] [*]Then, turn R at house [/LIST] [*]250m - After passing through a gate, turn L downhill on footpath, then L again onto dirt road, descending through trees [*]800m - View of Arantza rock strata (really pretty) [*]200m - Another beach access point, then proceed uphill following the fence line (could follow beach instead during low tide and avoid sharp up-and-down) [*]850m - third coast access point after a descent [*]400m - turn R up steep hill on paved road [*]250m - Turn R onto footpath in parking lot [*]350m - Descend to converted train track, curve L over bridge [*]750m - Take middle fork for Deba. Beware of confusing WM. From here on, look for signs pointing to Deba [*]200m - Confusing intersection. Turn R for Deba. For camping Itxaspe (bar), turn L and proceed 450m [*]300m - Descend to processing plant, passing around fence [*]200m - Ascend to highway, turning left and then right onto trail soon after [*]400m - Ascend to gate along edge of field, pass through it, then turn L uphill [*]300m - Proceed to chapel then fork R, ignoring R/W [*]700m - Descend to Deba (watch out for wiped out trail!), arriving on edge of beach. Turn L for center [*]300m - Fork L on Ifar Kalea. Turismo soon after on L (check in here for the albergue) [*]Total: 7.6km [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
