The hermitage of Andra Mari de Urbia is located in a wide, green valley surrounded by mountains, within the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park, between Oñati and Zegama. It is an emblematic spot for Basque mountaineers, a common stop on routes to Mount Aizkorri and other peaks of the massif. The small church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, stands next to a shelter and a meadow ideal for resting or enjoying the views.

A joy of hermitage in a joy of surroundings. Urbía has something magical.

Nestled in a beautiful spot, it's a shame that it's always closed.
