Olhaberri

The Olhaberri center is a meeting place where villagers and visitors meet. At the entrance to the Aldudes valley, an emblematic corner of Lower Navarre, it brings together a Cafe Restaurant and a permanent exhibition. In the heart of the village of Banca, this interpretation center with contemporary architecture is dedicated to heritage. Going down to the basement, discover, on a free or guided visit, a modern and educational exhibition space dedicated to the history of a little-known Basque heritage: the mining heritage.

From antiquity until our era, this economy marked the Basque mountains. This industrial heritage has almost disappeared from memory. Yet it is part of the local identity, far from the clichés of postcards!

Immerse yourself in the life of these copper mines, which dug the bowels of our mountains, through previously unseen films, handle the models showing the learned organization of this metallurgical industry, discover the maps highlighting one of the best-preserved ancient mining sites in Europe. An entire section of the history of the Pays de Quint and the Aldudes Valley is revealed to you.
