Environment´s information

In the Valley of Baztan there are many tourist options: simple paths because in these lands, the crests of the Navarre Pyrenean are inclined to the sea making it softer; museums for all tastes, mills that are still active, delicious gastronomy and traditions that have been kept along the years; besides, many of its cottages have been converted into cosy rural houses where you could enjoy the traditions and the nice personalities of the people from Baztan. Owing to the proximity, we highlight the circular path of 5.6 km to the waterfall of Xorroxin that begins in Erratzu, follows along the cottages of Gorostopalo and crosses the regatta of Iñarbegi. Museums to stand out: the ethnographic one of Oteiza in Elizondo and the sculptural one of Santxotena (Arizkun). We recommend the dolmens of Izpegi and the megaliths of Erratzu-Aldudes. In Urdazubi/Urdax, you could visit the mill, the monastery and the awesome cave of Ikuburu with its beautiful stalactites and stalagmites and listen the babbling of Urtxuma, a stream that flows inside the cave. The caves of Urdazubi/Urdax is connected by the road or by a path with the cave of Zugarramurdi, that the history and the legend have linked them with the witchcraft forever. Besides it is worth to highlight that on the East of Elizonzo it is the Natural Park Manor of Bertiz and on the Southeast is the Royal Fifth.
 

Amaiur-Maya

Very picturesque. Village-street of the Camino de Santiago from Baztan to the Navarre Pyrenean. We visit the arch to the entrance, the church of the Assumption and its palace houses, as well as a rebuilt mill where you can buy oatmeal or flour and other typical products. And from there you can walk through a route of 1,5 km. which crosses the dam and canal to reach the mythical monolith of Mount Gaztelu raised for remembering that Amair-Mata was the last focus of resistance to the incorporation of Navarre to the Crown of Castile in the XVI century, located on the site of an ancient castle
