Hueto Arriba between the Sierra de Arrato and Sierra de Badaia
Otogoien / Hueto Arriba lies on a slope at the foot of the Sierra de Arrato and borders the Sierra de Badaia to the north. This location connects the mountainous areas of the two sierras with the broad upland, the route and the specific cultural and natural attractions in the surrounding region. The two sierra names represent different spatial reference points for the village: Arrato at the foot of the slope and Badaia at the northern boundary.
Between the Sierra de Arrato and Sierra de Badaia
The Hueto Arriba route runs through the Sierra de Badaia, a broad limestone plateau. Along the route, the forest consists mainly of holm oaks and other oak trees. The route leads via Hueto Arriba-Olazar and Ganalto to Los Goros Cave. Nature enthusiasts can observe both the oak woodland along the described route and the open limestone landscape of the Sierra de Badaia. The broad limestone plateau and the forest dominated by holm oaks and other oak trees give the route two distinct landscape areas. Hueto Arriba-Olazar and Ganalto lie on the way to Los Goros Cave and add specific place and terrain points to the landscape. This keeps the route clearly defined for a day of hiking: the plateau, oak forest, Hueto Arriba-Olazar, Ganalto and Los Goros Cave all form part of the same route.
Historical traces in Hueto Arriba
The village's history also has specific points of reference. The Ermita de Santiago in Otogoien / Hueto Arriba was rebuilt in the 18th century. Another historical example is a house with a coat of arms attributed to the Aguirre de Alava family, dating from the middle of the 18th century. Both examples date from the 18th century, while only the ermita is explicitly associated with a reconstruction.
