We let ourselves get lost in Isaba
Isabaa Pyrenean village if ever there was one, epicentre of the Roncal Valleywith its cobblestone floors and stone houses, eguzkilores on the doors of the houses, ..., a defensive tower in its church, which crowns the town, ... Watched over at all times by the limestone mass that rises at its feet: under the peak of Ezkaurre.
Through Isaba runs the GR 11 - Pyrenean Pathon its way to the high mountain, climbing the very Ezkaurreor bordering it on the grounds of Belabarze.
From there, the road continues through the Valley to ascend the Belagua pass and get into the karst realms of Larra.
Our drift through the city began with a look at the orchards, where, with the winter season over, the soil was ready for the joys of spring and summer.
Colour had arrived in the gardens of the villa.
Traditional architecture, intermingled with the houses of the indianos and small details that make the view more pleasing to the eye.
A stop at the Cafeteria-Restaurant Idoia, where we review the photos of the walk through the village, with our notebook at hand, in the warmth of this fireplace, the heart of this space.
The impregnated soils did not escape our camera.
The Eguzkilore scares away evil spirits and omens; they can be found on many of the doors and windows.
Watching from on high.
Road to the Belagua passThe area is made up of cultivated plains, dotted with fields, used for storage or as shelter for livestock, mainly sheep; remember that we are at the epicentre of the Roncal cheese.
We saw the Arrako dolmen in the Belagua Valley.
The "path of the senses" in the Rincón de Belagua invites us to feel the beech forest by smell or hearing. An enjoyment of nature without barriers.
We could not avoid approaching Zuriza. This is what the mass of Ezkaurre looked like. The weather had changed and the snow was falling timidly.
Without a doubt, the weather had changed, and the sunny spells we had in Isaba a few hours earlier were long gone.
