Ochagavía-Otsagabia, human settlement in Spain
Ochagavía-Otsagabia is a small village in the Pyrenees region of Navarre in northern Spain, situated where the Zatoya and Anduña rivers flow. The settlement features narrow cobblestone streets, traditional stone houses with sloped tile roofs, and residential buildings decorated with ancestral coats of arms.
The village dates back to the 11th century and was originally governed by a local council called a Junta that managed laws and trade. A major fire destroyed many buildings in 1794, after which the village was rebuilt with new stone structures, while the medieval bridge spanning the Anduña River preserves ancient craftsmanship to this day.
The name Otsagabia comes from the Basque language and reflects the region's cultural roots. Traditional stone houses with steep slate roofs line the narrow streets, while annual festivals like the Virgin of Muskilda celebration in September bring the community together with local dances and processions that have been performed for centuries.
The village is easily reached by car from Pamplona via the NA-140 road or by regular bus services; free parking is available at the town entrance. The compact size allows visitors to explore all main areas on foot, though some buildings like the parish church may be closed to the public.
Local legend tells of a shepherd who discovered a carved image of the Virgin beneath an ancient oak tree, leading to the founding of the sanctuary on Mount Muskilda. The community still preserves this story today, explaining the spiritual importance of this pilgrimage site to the region.
