Remote mountain views, damaged track
NA-2655, 31714, Baztan
Been here?
A remote wild spot at 1080 m with spectacular 360° views of the mountains and, in clear weather, the Atlantic and distant ocean. Horses, sheep and other animals roam nearby, bringing droppings, flies and horseflies, while horses may approach vehicles. The final 3 km of access road are badly damaged but passable slowly and carefully. There is no service, internet is good, and the site is unsuitable during storms because it is very exposed to wind.

Magnificent spot with a very open view. Sheep and horses, so obviously droppings, flies, and horseflies. Very exposed to the wind. The access road is in poor condition, but passable.
Impressive views, a perfect ten of a place. Very windy, especially at night. The horses come very close; they even came to scratch themselves against our van!
Great spot, thanks for sharing. Road in poor condition but passable without problems if you pay attention. We were in an off-road T6 California, but a standard model would have no problem. We climbed at night in the rain and pea-soup fog, but the view the next morning was magical. Lots of free-roaming animals—be careful on the way.
Simply idyllic! We were alone with the sheep and wild horses. Spectacular 360° views of the mountains and sunset. A little wind in the evening, but really nothing troublesome. I do not necessarily agree with the previous comments about the road: it is indeed bumpy, but nothing insurmountable. I highly recommend it!
Our only company was the pottok horses, which rubbed against the van early in the morning :-D, along with sheep and birds of prey. 360° mountain views and quite a fright at night when we were hit by a nasty storm. One off-road section with some serious potholes, but manageable in a small van; other pitches are also available lower down. Leave this place clean and take care of it!
Magnificent, surrounded by animals, with an unbeatable view. The road is badly potholed for the last 3 km, especially the final stretch! Drive slowly; it is worth going all the way. Thanks for sharing this place.
What a dream spot! Be patient, the climb is long and the road is poor in places. We settled at the very end of the road, facing the ocean in the distance and surrounded by mountains, horses, goats, and sheep. Superb! Huge numbers of horseflies during the day, but you eventually get used to them. Sublime sunrise and sunset!
We arrived in the mist, but woke to a magnificent surprise. 4x4 recommended. No motorhomes. There are free-roaming horses living on the hill, a bonus for animal lovers but best avoided by those who are afraid of them. Absolute tranquility. Quite windy during the night.
Wonderful nature and views! Please keep the place clean and respect nature. Only then can places like this be preserved.
A truly magnificent place. At 1,080 m elevation with 360° views, in clear weather reaching as far as the Bay of Biscay and the snow-covered peaks on the other side. Naturally very exposed to the weather. The access is something else. Do not drive through the village of Bozate—it is impossible! The last 700 m of road are absolutely awful, or fun for 4x4 enthusiasts. Take care of your vehicle!
Stayed overnight. Magnificent spot with sunset and sunrise. A little wind, naturally, but the view is incredible. Good reception.
Superb view, did not stay overnight.
