Nice climb, not too difficult, though a lot of traffic on a summer holiday day.

Leuke klim, niet al te moeilijk, wel veel verkeer op een zomerse vakantiedag.

Nice climb to warm up the legs. Tarmac was fine. Upstairs nice café with the bakery and shop. And fine terrace.

A small pass where the road is good, climbing more than you'd expect, but nothing too exciting. We arrive at the little Rhune train. It's more of a transition pass than a one-off.

Un petit col où la route est bonne, qui monte en plus que ce qu’on pourrait s’y attendre, mais n’a rien de bien folichon. On arrive au petit train de la rhune. C’est un col de transition plus qu’à faire en une sortie.

Small pass with a bit of traffic (little Rhune train). An alternative green route, in this direction only, has just been opened to avoid this traffic.

Petit col avec un peu de trafic (petit train de la Rhune). Une voie verte alternative, dans ce sens uniquement, vient d'ouvrir, pour éviter ce trafic.

A steady climb that's not very steep, ideal for getting your legs into gear or just getting them moving. The only downside is that traffic can be heavy as the pass is the starting point for the Rhune train.

Montée régulière et pas très pentue, idéale pour se mettre en jambe ou justement tourner les jambes. Seul bémol, la circulation peut y être importante car le col constitue le départ du train de la Rhune.

Climbing during the Bizikleta, so no car required. A small, regular pass giving access to the Basque hinterland. No difficulty and no typical local assaults.

Montée pendant la Bizikleta donc sans voiture. Petit col régulier qui permet d’accéder à l’arrière pays basque. Aucune difficulté ni coup de cul typique du coin.
