70 km west of SS is a small town at the seaside called Lekeitio. I passed
there a few years ago (by car !) and thought I'd like to go back one day.
It has a strange melancholic atmosphere with its wooden houses on the
harbour. It is the kind of place where you could want to disappear and not
be found.
As far as I remember, the road from SS is winding and continuously going
up/down, so as far as cycling is concerned it is probably strenuous. The
first km from SS to Zarautz are rather ugly but then it becomes much nicer
along the sea.
