After yesterday's time has been calm and taking advantage of the rising rivers I went for a ride to the mountain to see the consequences of almost 140 mm of rain that fell yesterday in Bilbao. The area chosen was the Bolintxu stream valley within the city of Bilbao, and could say it is a small natural park is well protected by Bilbao and Arnotegi Pagasarri. To our misfortune should not have much value as other things and soon you will see broken Supersur peace of mind for the new highway Gran Bilbao.
route the beginning a little below and Seberetxe Buia, two small villages on the outskirts of Bilbao.
Just take the footpath across the valley I go into the jungle. 
an oak tree, one of the most common trees in this area. 
After just over 10 minutes walk to reach what was until the 1983 floods Bolintxu dam. The force of water that was filled with stones dam of the abandoned quarry that is above all that plus all that water drag, became over the years in this quiet place. 
This is the dam wall and jump Bolintxu water produced. 
Continuing up the valley, seeing the damage it has caused the rain yesterday, the bed of the river has swept away several sections of the trail and I have to go as best I can. I climb onto the dance Artabe the ravine below Uskortako Asilikueta Atxa. Low water

One of the "sources" Artabe track. 
I continue with my route and I'm taking to the slopes that rise to Pagasarri famous mountain Bilbao Area, we are in the world, hahaha. From here descend address Bilbao through the San Roque chapel dating from 1575, with an interesting history. 
Bolintxu I return to the Valley but now the slope of Arnotegi with good views of Uskortako Atxa. 
After just over 2 hours walking back to the starting point for finished giving this circular route Bolintxu hidden valley.
