Pyrenean outline

From the Quinto Real forest up to the highest peaks in Navarra,

located in the east of the Roncal Valley, is located the Navarrese Pyrenees, composed by the valleys of Erro, Arce, Aezkoa, Salazar and Roncal and localities of Burguete Roncesvalles and Luzaide-Valcarlos . These places are full of incredible corners, the tranquility is noticeable. Just go to the prairies of the Sorogain landscape a nice and clear summer night, you lying face up, looking at the stars, with the unique sound of the whistling wind , moving the leaves of the trees, some cricket... Sense of tranquillity that is impossible to get it close to a metropolitan area. Winter humidity, mixed with rain in the early spring and the warm days of late May and June, make that the forests that surround us have a shade of bright green over several months. During the summer days, rare is the night mercury does not drop below 20 ° C so the pleasant temperatures make during the summer,the Pyrenees follow with the beautiful green color until you reach the autumn in which nature changes up to show some reddish colors in all the beech forests that surround us, dying the Navarrese Pyrenees a aspect that cannot be achieved in any other place as in the Irati Forest. When the autumn ends and the winter is approaching, the temperatures, especially the night ones, they begin falling down, and with them, the leaves of the trees, remaining completely naked, we hear singing of all the migratory birds that they cross from north on south looking to the warmest temperatures and that warn us about the arrival of the winter snow.

On the other hand, the history and the recent findings discovered in the area by the local historian, Juan Mari Martinez Txoperena, make clear the step of the Romans along our land. The Roman road that crosses the plains of Zaldua (Auritz-Burguete) and Otegi (Aurizberri-Espinal) it seems that it makes it clear the battle of Roncesvalles, happened in this beautiful area of Navarra, as well as thanks to all the megalithic monuments located in our surroundings (More than 100 only in the Valley of Erro), we can know of the existence of humans from prehistoric times.
