Ikestei is located between the towns of Markina-Xemein and Ziortza-Bolibar, in the Iruzubieta neighbourhood of the Lea-Artibai region. It is just 2.5 km from Markina-Xemein.
The original farm had been destroyed by floods. Nowadays building is from 1975 which was the farm for animals and the house until 2005. That year, had been built another block for animals; the ancient one is now the Restaurant.
The business all the time has been run by the owners, that is the reason why the customer have a good attention from the service.
150 meters far from the house is the Northern Way to Santiago, the stage from Markina-Xemein to Gernika. That is why this guest house have many pilgrims as guests.
Continuing the Santiago Way from here, there are two important places to visit. In two km from our hotel we arrive in Ziortza-Bolibar where we can visit Simon Bolivar museum. Then contimuing one km more walking, in the way to Gernika, we arrive in Cenarruza where you can find “The colegiata de Cenarruza”.
We have to stand out the strategic location, for a holiday staying and also to know the touristic cities as Bilbao (40’’ ) and San Sebastian (50’’), also typical coastal villages as Ondarroa and Lekeitio, 15’’ minutes by car or by bus.
There is a bus stop 10 minutes’ walk from the establishment that connects with other towns in Lea-Artibai and with Bilbao.
