Visiting, travelling through, and experiencing Baztán is more—and by no small measure—than simply reliving the mysteries contained in Dolores Redondo’s renowned “Baztán Trilogy,” which is set in Elizondo, the capital of the Baztán Valley. A valley that all tourist guides describe as an Atlantic setting that tempers the cold of the surrounding regions—humid and green, with gentle hills, beech and oak forests, scattered farmsteads, and a harmonious blend of nature and the traditional culture of northern Old Kingdom of Navarre.
In this scenic setting with its mild climate, Elizondo is the valley’s main town, and in its plaza stands Casa Elizetxea, whose name refers to the nearby church—“eliza” (church) and “etxea” ( house—of St. James the Apostle, a clear reference to the so-called Baztán Way that winds through its streets towards the distant Galician city of Compostela.
A 15-square-meter terrace overlooking the plaza adds, even more to the appeal of the brand-new 2+2-person tourist apartment (two 90x200 beds and a 160x20 sofa bed; see the video), which also offers the convenience of private parking on the same lot.
Visiting, travelling, and experiencing Baztán is an experience worth repeating. Elizetxea awaits you. Welcome. Ongi Etorri.
