Mugarra

The 964-meter Mugarra mountain features steep cliffs on its southern face, rising 300 meters above the Mugarrekolanda col in the Aramotz massif.

The mountain's geological formations contain fossilized seashells, indicating the area was once submerged beneath ancient seas millions of years ago.

The name Mugarra originates from the Basque language, representing the strong connection between the local population and this natural landmark.

Hikers can reach the summit through a marked trail starting from Mañaria at 181 meters, following a path to Mugarrekolanda col at 760 meters.

The southern cliffs of Mugarra provide nesting sites for 60 pairs of vultures, leading to climbing restrictions to protect these bird populations.
