Why Does A Scrotum Itch?

Coast Mining from Pobeña to Covaron

Today's walk is an ideal place to go with more kids and enjoy the sights and aroma of the sea of \u200b\u200bBiscay.
Pobeña The tour begins in a quiet town near Muskiz that becomes a hive during the summer, when people come to cool off in the nearby Beach Arena. The course is perfectly prepared and marked in the program Itsas-Lur. We started walking from the parking lot next to the bridge that allows passage to the beach. Here, next to a nursing home, we found a tile panel showing the entire route. After a short climb up stairs reach the old railway platform, recovered and cemented. The route, without possible loss, leads to the cliff hanging Kobaron.

Along the way discover ancient algae extraction mechanisms, mining ruins and spectacular views. Among all these places, highlights the mineral loading of Punta Castillo, in which an old rusty iron structure from the nineteenth century resisted the onslaught of Biscay and from the Tuesday March 11, 2008 was engulfed by the power of the sea .

Almost without realizing it, we Kobaron, a magnificent example of a mining town. Now route, again marked, ascends to the top of a hill to return to Pobeña between villages and fields, discovering another beautiful picture of the western valleys of Biscay. Silence is our only companion on the way back, which also offers spectacular views of the land where they melt Euskadi and Cantabria.
