Overview

 
Ory

Because the number of mountains of this area actually in SP is a few (only 3 mountains) I decided to joint this 2 very wide areas but really it's the area of Roncesvalles and the area of Irati.
For the same reason the mountains of the Basse Navarre (north, french side) as Behorlegi are linked to this area for the moment.

Roncesvalles

 
Ory & Ortzanzurieta
 
Roncesvalles

Roncesvalles / Orreaga is the area around this important village. Roncesvalles have the historic pass across the Pyrenees on Ibañeta (the trail of Santiago, the battle of Rolando,...) and is an important touristic place with church (Colegiata) and monastery. All the peaks are big hills with easy walks to the summit, nice forest and very wide panoramas.

-Villages: Erro, Burguete / Auritz, Roncesvalles / Orreaga, Valcarlos / Luzaide.
(some villages had 2 names, in spanish and euskera, I'd writen both to evitate confusions in the roads)
