CENTRAL NAVARRE
_

Etayo is in the Ega valley, at the foot of the elongated Sierra de San Gregorio, the Codés mountain range followed by Lokiz, Monjardín and Montejurra. Estella is the closest city.

NATURAL AREA
_

Etayo is a central and unique spot to enjoy the mountains that encircle it. The scenery is impressive over Valdega, the Sierra de San Cristóbal and its gall oak forests, considered as natural monuments.

SEÑORÍO DE LEARZA
_

Learza was part of the land owned by the marquisate of Vesolla and, before that, there are indications it was a nucleus of population in times past: no less than the Bronze Age itself. There are some vestiges of this time, including cave paintings like the one in the Peñas del Cuarto cave, near the Portillo de la Sierra de San Gregorio, showing a drawing of a rider on his horse.

A PLACE WITH HISTORY
_

Etayo was declared a royal town by King Theobald II in 1234. Carlos II handed it over to Beltrán Vélez de Guevara and it later became a dependency of Fernando de Baquedano and the church at Gollano which inherited it from him. In 1369, it was sold together with Oco and Riezu to Miguel Pérez of Ciriza.

THE BASILICA OF SAN GREGORIO
_

Near the Camino de Santiago that goes from Estella-Lizarra to Los Arcos is found the Basilica of San Gregorio Ostiense, one of the most outstanding examples of the Navarre Baroque period.
Its regal presence on a hill is a surprise and its entrance of great wealth and ornamental profusion is overwhelming. Inside the temple, its dome is dazzling.

THE PARISH
_

In the village you can visit the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. A building of medieval origin, of which there are only a few remnants scattered near the current baroque church.
This is an iconic and historic place that you should not miss if you visit this town.

GASTRONOMY OF THE AREA
_

In the central part are abundant dryland plains and irrigated orchards, where the asparagus and pepper are outstanding, where good D.O. Navarre wine is also produced. For those people who like to enjoy good food, heading into the mid-Navarre area is almost essential.
