Great spot forna walk after hiking to visit Gaztelugatxe. Service was efficient and fast enough to handle a large group at once.

The location is perfect and it has a private free parking lot for clients. The Gaztelugatxe path’s entrance is just a few minutes walk. After the very demanding upwards climb they were very kind to let us have a quick shower even though we have already checked out.
