Here you can walk along popular trails such as the mountaineers’ trail, the shepherds’ trail, or the springs trail. In addition, the park features an interpretation area where you can obtain detailed information about the park. visit website

EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IN THE CAMPING SITE AND SURROUNDINGS
One of the activities you can try on the Alloz reservoir, on whose shores the campsite sits, is sailing. Whether you want to learn or already know, the services of the Navarra Sailing School, which operates on the reservoir, are at your full disposal.
The campsite has its own jetty, so you can stay at a campsite with all the amenities and enjoy sailing all in the same place. The Sierras of Andía and Urbasa (home to the source of the Urederra river) delimit the mountainous north of Middle Navarra and surround the village of Riezu , the source of the Ubagua river, which flows into the Alloz reservoir. An area with a wealth of natural beauty.
From Puente La Reina (where the routes join) to Estella, the Way of St James marks its historical and artistic significance with beautiful examples of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, such as the Cloister of the Monastery of Iranzu in Abárzuza.
Estella-Lizarra was founded in 1090 due to the need to attend the growing influx of pilgrims from all over Europe on their way to Santiago. Important examples of Romanesque (San Pedro Cloister in the Church of San Pedro) Gothic (façade of El Santo Sepulcro, Convent of Santo Domingo) and Plateresque architecture enrich a remarkably cultural city.
Middle Navarra is the home of great wine and tasty, varied cuisine, based on local products.
