バジェ・デ・メナの天然記念物・トップ20

One of the emblematic mountains of the area.

Pico del Fraile (864 m) is a mountain in the Cordillera. There is a path to the top. The nearest mountain refuge is Refugio del Tolope, located 1,037 m/3,402 ft NNW from the summit.

This rocky peak is vertical on all its flanks, which makes it necessary to use leather straps during the ascent. It was first climbed in 1924 by Ángel Sopeña, precursor of climbing in the Basque Country. Its name comes from its resemblance to the figure of an abbot.

Spectacular reservoir surrounded by the Sierra Sálvada mountain range in the north of Álava. The dam is a popular place for fishing. In addition, the reservoir serves as a refuge for migratory birds. The surroundings of the dam allow you to enjoy a natural space made up of pine forests, oaks and shrubs.

Beautiful views from the Tologorri massif, belonging to the Sierra Salvada

To the right of the path appears the Pico del Fraile where it is a huge pinnacle that separates from the cliff and where it has a special shape. It's worth stopping to see.

This is one of the highest mountains of the Montes de Orduente on its western side and offers good views of all the lands that are on both sides of the mountain range.

Zalama is a mountain 1343 meters high. A few meters from the top there is a stone monolith where you can read: "Merindad de Montija, year 1886". At this point the borders of three provinces converge: Vizcaya, Burgos and Cantabria. Also close to the top is a peculiar and very scarce plant community today, the peat bog, a community of mosses and liverworts that takes root on a soil that is almost always flooded.
