ESFR2GINAPY, EH2GILANA, or even ESFR2AQEUNA (Aquitaine, Euskadi,
Nafarroa)...: The spot is known as Xapitelako Harria (Chapitelaco-arria
in the boundary treaty), and is near the hamlet of Endarlatsa
(Endarlaza in Spanish). I have attached a picture and a map of the
area, in which I have drawn the boundaries. The picture can be found at
http://www.animsa.es/navarra/lesaka/eu/paisaje1.htm , and the map is
from the map server at http://b5m.gipuzkoa.net/liz5000/?w=1024 .

I have visited Endarlatsa, but I couldn't see the bordermarker from the
Irun side of the river. The Biriatu side is so steep, that I didn't try
to reach the marker itself. It is extremely dangerous as it is to
wander about in Endarlatsa: that road is very, very busy with lorries,
they drive like mad, and there is absolutely no room to walk beside the
road...
