Access
Marismas de Jaizubia is located north of the city of Irun, close to the Spanish/French border. It is easy to park at one end of the route, in the Amute car park, or at the other, next to the Jaizubia society. Press a P on the map for directions to a parking. From either of the two car parks you can continue walking along the path that runs along the estuary. At some point the path splits into two, allowing you to visit the San Joaquín lagoon. It is advisable to follow the path closest to the water's edge. The length of the path is about 2,5 km one way.

Espagnol: Es fácil aparcar en un extremo del recorrido, en el parking de Amute, o bien en el otro, junto a la sociedad Jaizubia. A partir de cualquiera de los dos aparcamientos se puede seguir andando el camino que bordea la ría. En algún momento el camino se desdobla en dos, permitiendo la visita de la laguna de San Joaquín. Lo recomendable es seguir el camino más cercano a la orilla del agua.
