Under the attentive gaze of the
Urbasa-Andía natural park stands the ancient
Valley of Améscoa. Its wealth and variety of habitats has led to two-thirds of the territory it covers being classified as an SCI (Site of [European] Community Importance). Of all the area's highlights, the impressive turquoise blue waters of the
source of the Urederra river stand out.
The valley is divided into Améscoa
baja (low) and
alta (high) and is home to eleven villages: Larraona, Aranarache, Eulate, Ecala, San Martín, Zudaire, Baríndano, Baquedano, Artaza, Gollano and Urra. They rotate the organisation of the annual
Festivity of the Valley, a pleasant day out that starts with the placing of a boundary stone and continues with games for the kids, an exhibition of rural sports and a lot of music, among other things.
Take the opportunity to get to know this attractive corner of
Navarre.
