Kingdom of Navarre. Land of diversity

The Sierras de Urbasa and Andia stretch from east to west at heights ranging from 700 to almost 1,500 metres above sea level. They are edged with numerous crags and the wide summits are mainly covered with large Beech woods and mountain pastures with a good number of limestone outcrops. The northern face is markedly Atlantic, while the southern face is much more Mediterranean in nature.

This area forms part of the "Urbasa-Andia" Site of Community Importance and Natural Park, and borders on the Natural Reserve "River Urederra spring".
