Tologorri/Iturrigorri

Located in the Basque Mountains, Tologorri rises to 1068 meters above sea level, offering views across the Aiala valley and neighboring mountain ranges.

The mountain's dual naming, Tologorri and Iturrigorri, reflects centuries of regional boundary marking between the provinces of Álava and Bizkaia in northern Spain.

The name Iturrigorri derives from Basque language elements: 'iturri' meaning fountain and 'gorri' meaning red, referencing a natural spring near the peak.

Hikers can reach the summit through two main routes: Portillo de la Barrerilla and Portillo de Menerdiga, with Lendoño Goikoa serving as the primary access point.

The mountain forms part of the BBE/ZEPA Sierra Salvada protected natural area, featuring distinct geological formations and rare mountain flora species.
