An amazing hill, the views are breathtaking, especially those of Mugarra.

After reaching this peaceful and green hill, where it is sometimes even possible to enjoy horses around, we can have a panoramic view of the area in which, of course, the Mugarra stands out right next to it, imposing itself over the area. If you are going to climb Mugarra, it is an ideal point to stop to regain strength before the last stretch.

Montecalvo is located at an altitude of 381 meters, offering impressive views of the sea and Urdaibai on one side and Duranguesado on the other. The Muniketa road was the main communication route south through Durango until 1848, when the Autzagane road was improved.

The Urkiola Natural Park occupies a large part of the surface of this small town in Durangaldea. Mañaria is surrounded by a splendid landscape, sheltered by beautiful limestone peaks such as Errialtabaso (1,018 m), Mugarra (964 m), Saibi (946 m) and Untzillatx (934 m).

From the top of Muniketa or Montecalvo, there are exceptional views and you can see the sea and Urdaibai on one side, as well as the Duranguesado on the other. Muniketa is a dispersed neighborhood with several typical hamlets and until 1848 it was the main route of communication to the south through Durango. That year the Autzagane road was improved. In Muniketa is the Astei agrotourism, a rehabilitated farmhouse with restaurant service from where we can perfectly see a slope of Mount Oiz and Goraño. From Artatza, the ascent is a 3.7-kilometre climb with 261 meters of positive elevation gain, 12 beautiful horseshoe curves and a very regular slope of around 7%. From Muxika, the ascent is 9 kilometers and a total of 382 meters of positive slope. More info at: https://www.muxikakoudala.eus/es-ES/informacion-cultural/Barrios/Paginas/Muniketa.aspx
