Baztan and Bidasoa valleys

Baztan and Bidasoa valleysIn north-west Navarra, where the Pyrenees come down to meet the coast at the border with France lie the verdant valleys of Baztan and Bidasoa. Here the impeccably kept towns and villages and indeed life itself seem to be untouched by the passage of time. Visit historic Lesaka, Wellington's base for the battle of Bera de Bidasoa and where they celebrate their own small scale version of San Fermin, investigate the mysterious Agote people in Arizkun, take the train or climb to the top of Larrun, with the best possible views of the Bay of Biscay or simply wander around the many beautiful villages such as Etxalar.
