Saibitxiki

Highlight • Forest

In truth, it is an antecedent of the nearby Saibi that is dedicated to pine plantation. For this reason, depending on the felling of the pine trees, the physiognomy can change and the views that we can enjoy as well.

Urkiola Sanctuary

Highlight • Religious Site

The Urkiola sanctuary is located in the heart of the homonymous natural park, in a beautiful setting surrounded by vegetation. Although the current building dates from the 19th century, it was built on the foundations of older temples, the first of which was a 13th-century hermitage.
