RAISE A CASTLE OF ART

OTEIZA MUSEUM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have just left Pamplona, ​​and we are already in the middle of the forest. The route takes us to the Oteiza Museum, a huge concrete mass in the small town of Alzuza, which looks like a castle imposing its presence over the Egüés valley. The route is very comfortable and easy to follow if you are a little attentive. Apart from the panoramic views, this walk is more of an excuse to visit the Jorge Oteiza Museum, the great sculptor who brings us closer to modern art in an impressive building designed by architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza. 

D: 4,5 km – circular
