Urdax - Urdazubi

Urdazubi in Basque: water and bridge. Located in a privileged environment, at the gates of the Kingdom of Navarre, a site rich in history, culture, nature, traditions, gastronomy and sport.

Note the houses built by the "Indianos" and the birthplace of the writer Pedro Aguerre "Axular" author of the work "Gero", as well as the mill rebuilt in the 18th century, which still works today. Urdax, the main stage between Bayonne and Pamplona of the Camino de Santiago in Baztan takes place between Urdax and Amaiur, through the Otxondo pass, the slope of which is not excessive, but which can present some difficulty for unaccustomed pilgrims.

A journey of about 9 km, which leads to the next stage in the Baztan valley, before facing the Belate pass. Urdax-Urdazubi is home to the former Pilgrims Hospital and current hostel. Urdax-Urdazubi is the ideal place for hikers, with its 4 marked trails starting from the town centre. In addition, the municipalities of Xareta are connected by a path called “Path of Pottok”. Small horses painted blue on stones line the route, which crosses peaceful meadows and forests. A not very demanding route, suitable for families or people who are not very trained.

From the caves of Urdax, follow the “pottok” in two possible directions: towards Zugarramurdi to reach Sare (about 8 km) or towards Urdax-Urdazubi to reach Dantxarinea and come out at Ainhoa.

Local festivals coincide with Ascension and Pentecost in Dantxarinea. The 2nd Saturday of August is Iron Day, with a re-enactment of the arrival of ore from Biscay at the village forge, as well as a craft market followed by a meal with musical entertainment.

In summer, three days are devoted to Basque Pelota and in particular three of its modalities (xare, paleta and cesta punta). They end with a tasting of local products. Throughout the year, various events take place in the commercial area of Dantxarinea.
