History

The name Itziar, and a few derivations of it, is a popular name given to Basque women. Its origin goes back to the 8th century when a temple was built in reverence to Santa Maria de Itziar. Her statue remains here, and is venerated as much by sailors as by pilgrims.

The Road

From Itziar the camino turns north to return to the sea at Deba. Past the church turn right at the first fork and follow the country lane. You won’t notice any more highways as you wind your way towards Deba, but they are none-the-less tunneling beneath you.

We read comments that there is nothing in this town so stopped at a terrible cafe at the bottom of the hill next to the highway where we were charged 17 euro for 2x bocadillos with nothing but meat in them and 2x cokes. When we walked through this town there were at least 2x bars that were open. This was around 1pm end of a July

I found this hotel, it's 2km off track, but then there is a shortcut to Deba so no additional length.
€75 for room for two with ensuite. Really nice place, helpful staff and good food
