The Sierra of Urbasa

See nearby places of interest

Millions of years ago, the terrain of the great plateau known as Zunbeltz or Lizarraga underwent a permanent change. A gigantic tectonic collapse took place that created the opening of a great 'corridor' between the already formed Urbasa and Andía mountain ranges. Located between Atlantic and Mediterranean Navarre, these ranges are part of a large Natural Park in the west of the region.

Meadows and leafy beechwoods appear alternately on the idyllic landscape of this protected area, whose southern edge falls sharply down to the Amezkoa valley to form the impressive natural viewpoint over the cirque of the source of the river Urederra.

Visit the range's information centres, recreation areas and easy signposted paths to get to know its beautiful woods and rock outcrops, megaliths and the life that hunters, shepherds, timber merchants and charcoal burners have led in this area for centuries. Access to the megalithic station on the range of hills is not marked out, so access to it is quite tricky.
