Altsasu

Altsasu lies in the Burunda Valley in Navarre, Spain, where the Sierra de Urbasa and Aralar mountains frame the western end of the Sakana corridor. Known in Spanish as Alsasua, the town sits in Navarre’s Basque-speaking zone, and Euskara remains part of everyday local life alongside Spanish. Woodland and grazing country climb toward the limestone uplands of Urbasa, while the wider Sakana links Pamplona with the Basque Country. Altsasu’s railway station reflects this strategic position on the historic main line between Madrid and the French border. Local identity comes into force during carnival, when Momotxorro figures take to the streets. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Sakana Valley.
