Each mountain bike centre offers at least 100 km of waymarked itineraries, divided up into routes of different levels of difficulty. In general, the routes start and finish at the same point. As far as possible, sections shared with motorized vehicles and sections along asphalted surfaces have been avoided.
Levels of difficulty are indicated by means of colour codes that we will find at all information and waymarking points along the route.
Waymarking Colours
easy 
average 
difficult 
very difficult
Departure pointThe departure point of the routes is located at the Reception Point or at the Information Points. It is advisable to visit these places in order to obtain full, detailed information about the routes, graphic material by way of back-up and additional services other than cycling.
Waymarking on the spot We will find route waymarking both at the Reception Point and at Information Points, including an informative panel containing full information from the mountain bike centre (description of the routes, location and services, etc.)
Waymarking is complemented by the use of directional signs from the departure point to the arrival point, especially at crossroads and changes in direction. All signposts bear an inscription on the lower part containing letters (BU for Busturialdea) and numbers. Each sign has its own inscription whose purpose is to guide cyclists and locate them in case of accident. If you get lost, make a note of this number and check your location in the technical file.
The waymarking used at the MTB centre is described as follows.
