The road between Tolosa and Azpeitia is divided as it reaches Bidania-Goiatz. At that point there’s the former Caja de Ahorros Provincial (provincial savings bank) building, with a large Gipuzkoa coat of arms, reminding us that we’re on the centre of the province. The left road takes us through Goiatz to Urraki pass, while the right road it goes down the Errezil pass. Both roads have outstanding views of the Hernio massif.
