Sierra de Urbasa ”Beech woods cover 70% of the territory, together with other species such as yew, juniper and pine trees. On the ‘rasos’, flat land located at around 1.000 metres above sea level, the woods give way to pastures dotted with heather and hawthorns with horses and sheep grazing; the latter’s milk is used to make the delicious Idiazábal cheese.. ”
