The Pyrenees: Places to Explore

Baztán Valley

Tucked neatly over the headwaters of the Bidasoa River, under the peak of the 3,545-foot Gorramendi Mountain looming over the border with France, the rounded green hills of the Valle de Baztán make an ideal halfway stop between the central Pyrenees and the Atlantic. Each village in this enchanted Navarran valley seems smaller and simpler than the next: tiny clusters of whitewashed, stone-and-mortar houses with red-tile roofs group around a central frontón (handball court).
