Highlights: The jagged silhouette of Txindoki stands out against the green valleys, especially breathtaking when alpenglow paints the peak in fiery oranges at sunset. Climbers often share the unique thrill of reaching its summit’s narrow ridge, where panoramic views stretch across Biscay’s rolling hills and distant sea.
