Tips
On the slopes of Mount Argibel appear the rocks of Arrikulunka, the "dancing stone" (harria/stone, kulunka/balancing). The megalith is a large sandstone rock superimposed on another horizontal one in such a way that when a person stands on the stone in the correct corner it causes a small rocking. Legend has it that the rock was thrown by one of the Navarrese gentiles, some say that it was Roldán himself, with the intention of destroying the cathedral of Pamplona but the shot failed and the stone fell in the mountains of Baztán.
