Nordic Walking 
Nordic Walking is a form of walking that includes not only the action of the legs as in the normal way, but also the upper body. It consists of walking with two specialized sticks that are designed only for this modality.
It is a new movement for the body; it is pleasant and very effective and it acts lightly but effectively, improving muscle strength, cardiovascular system, coordination and movility.
This area is appropriate for practicing Nordic Walking and the Nordic Walking Centre of Deba offers five routes of different levels.
