Tologorri/Iturrigorri

Tologorri/Iturrigorri is a 1068 meter summit in Sierra Salvada within the Basque Mountains. From the top, visitors see the Aiala valley and surrounding mountain ranges spread below them.

The mountain served as a boundary marker between the provinces of Álava and Bizkaia in northern Spain for centuries. The dual names Tologorri and Iturrigorri reflect this long history of regional division.

The name Iturrigorri comes from Basque words: 'iturri' means spring and 'gorri' means red, referencing the natural water source near the peak. Local people use both names when talking about this mountain.

Two main routes lead to the summit: Portillo de la Barrerilla and Portillo de Menerdiga, with Lendoño Goikoa as the primary entry point. The trails are well marked and suitable for average hikers.

The mountain sits within the BBE/ZEPA Sierra Salvada protected natural area, home to rare mountain plants. The geological formations here show distinct layers and variations.
