In the western Pyrenees, past Baztan and just a short distance from the French border, lies Zugarramurdi, the village of witches, where fantasy and reality blend to treat the imagination with the opportunity to take a thrilling trip back in time.

The cave, which is close to the village of Zugarramurdi, can be visited from 9.00 am until nightfall. There are no stalagmites or stalactites and no cave paintings have been discovered on their walls, yet it has an almost extraordinary attraction: since the seventeenth century it was allegedly the venue for akelarres, covens which men and women (the witches and wizards of the time) used to escape from everyday routine with frenzied feasts, dancing around bonfires and holding orgies in the moonlight.

In addition to the track that skirts the cave, there are some delightful walks linking the caves of Urdazubi/Urdax and Sara.
