Surrounded by mountains and crossed by the Plazaola Greenway. Villa made up of neighborhoods and various scattered hamlets. It is a large town that has an interesting historic center, with its hamlets around the monumental church of San Miguel. Green meadows and manicured orchards abound. The commercial area on the one hand and the well-kept old town on the other; the center, the town square; excellent witness of the rural sport and folklore that have made the town of Leitza famous.
