WHAT TO SEE IN BERROETA

Berroeta is in the shadow of Abartán, in this ancient mountain there are many megalithic constructions: dolmens, tumuli and cromlechs. The route brings us closer to the peaks, and following the Camino de Santiago Baztanes, we will soon enter a forest where we will find enormous chestnut trees with capsicum shapes, pruned to facilitate the harvesting of their fruits, a staple food in times of subsistence. On the way back we will enjoy the views and once in Berroeta, its beautiful farmhouses and its church.

CHURCH OF SAN MARTIN

Built in the 16th century, a later renovation added the baroque tower. It is accessed through a semicircular arch protected by a rustic porch.

SHIELDS

All of Baztán proudly displays the checkered shield of the valley on the facades of their houses, but there are some, like this one in Berroeta, with particular shapes and symbols.

ETXEBERRIA HOUSE

This is the house of a famous Carlist brigadier, Martín Luis Echeverría, who displays on its façade the shield of the valley with rockery decorations and a helmet.

PANORAMICS

The route takes us to the peaks, and following the Camino de Santiago Baztanés, we will soon look back to enjoy the views.

ABARTAN

PRACTICAL TIPS

-At the entrance to Berroeta you will find an area designated for parking. We recommend first visiting Berroeta, its church and its beautiful square.

-It is a route that has an initial section with steep slopes, but that also offers us a beautiful panoramic view of the valley.

-In the middle of the forest you will find some enormous chestnut trees, whose fruits in other times not too distantly ago were a fundamental part of the valley's diet.
