18 treasures<\/h3>\n
Our region is made up of 18 villages,<\/strong> most of them with less than 1,000 inhabitants, with a privileged natural charm as they are located between the Aralar Natural Park and the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

If you are planning to visit San Sebastian,<\/strong> Goierri is the perfect plan for a rural and gastronomic excursion, as it is only 30 minutes away<\/strong>. In our valley you will not only enjoy nature and gastronomy. You can also soak up Basque history and culture. The highest areas are where the oldest remains of human life have been found: in both the Aralar and Aizkorri mountain ranges there are burial mounds and menhirs dating back thousands of years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
