History

Larrabetzu es uno de los pueblos más francos en la lucha vasca por la independencia. La ciudad era un lugar clave en la línea de defensa conocida como el Cinturón de Hierro. Las laderas aquí están entrecruzadas con trincheras y búnkeres fortificados diseñados para defenderse de la captura de Bilbao por los fascistas en 1936. Los esfuerzos no tuvieron éxito, pero la visión pro-vasca nunca disminuyó. La ciudad sigue pintada y enlucida con graffiti y pancartas que proclaman la independencia del País Vasco y la libertad de los miembros de la resistencia actualmente encarcelados.

The Road

El camino gira a la derecha en la entrada de Larrabetzu, dejando atrás la carretera principal. En la ciudad gira a la derecha y comienza a seguir una carretera diferente directamente a Lezama.

the lady at the albergue was lovely and the town was quaint and lovely! not many beds though- but if you really beg the lady she has three mayoresses to put on the floor 🫶

Just arrive in Larrabetzu at 14h30, the albergue is already full (only 11 beds available) and it seems the next albergue in Lezama is close. I found a casa rural near, but most of pilgrims have to take a bus to bilbao and come back tomorrow.

We stayed one night in the beautiful Casa Rural Miramendi some 2 kilometres past Larrabetzu. Absolutely recomnended, if you want to treat yourself to some luxury along the camino

Camino de Sant…

Perfect spot for a rest - the town has everything a pilgrim needs and locals are very friendly and helpful. The albergue is clean and welcoming.

As mentioned above, there are several NEW accommodations at the town center. The town itself is lovely and the people are friendly and helpful.
Maybe these pensions and albergues are still under the radar, but they are there and already operating. If we did not have pre booked an room in LEZAMA, we would have stayed here.

Camino de Sant…

A beautiful spot to stop for the night, but the hospitalario made me and a few others in my group feel uncomfortable. Overly familiar and touchy and discussing women’s bodies.
