Context:
Salimos del centro urbano de FRUIZ. Nos encontramos con un camino llano con curvas. La carretera discurre junto al río Oka, principal eje del río Butrón. En el km. 3 atravesamos el barrio de Olabarri, donde a izquierda existe un cruce para ir a Arrieta y a Errigoiti. Tramos con sol y sombra en la carretera.

Si, el Oka es el eje de la region Urdaibal, no de otro rio. La phrase no tiene sentido.
