Beizama: Discover Culture and Mountain Peaks

Culture

Beizama Town Hall has a portico with three arches. The parish church of San Pedro is the oldest building in Beizama.

The Nuestra Señora de la Soledad hermitage is located on the GI-3720 road between Beizama and Tolosa. It houses a small Way of the Cross, which was laid out around 1730. On Good Friday afternoon, a procession takes place from the parish church of San Pedro to the Nuestra Señora de la Soledad hermitage.

Thus, various historic points of reference stand side by side in Beizama: the town hall’s portico with its three arches, the parish church of San Pedro, described as the oldest building, and the hermitage located on the connecting road to Tolosa. The hermitage’s Way of the Cross completes this picture with an installation whose creation is dated to around 1730.

The Murumendi megalithic station includes Beizama and is listed with seven monuments. The Maramendi Norte dolmen is listed as one of the megalithic monuments of the Murumendi station.

The geographical location of the other cultural attractions also varies. The Museo Gorrotxategi is a museum in the vicinity of Beizama. The Museo Fotógrafico and the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa are located in the wider regional area; the Palacio de Narros, a castle, is also located there. Thus, the cultural selection ranges from the named buildings in Beizama and the Murumendi megalithic station to museums and a castle in the wider regional area.

Nature

Hernio is a mountain peak in the vicinity of Beizama. Aizpel is a mountain peak in the vicinity of Beizama. Uraitz Gaina is a mountain peak in the vicinity of Beizama. Putreaitza is a mountain peak in the vicinity of Beizama.

The “Beizamako mendietan” route follows the old path from Beizama to Errezil, designated as PR-Gi 144. The route passes through forests and meadows at the foot of the Urraki, Illaun and Beleku mountains.

Hernio, Aizpel, Uraitz Gaina and Putreaitza are several individual mountain peaks named in the vicinity of Beizama. The “Beizamako mendietan” route adds a specifically designated path to these mountain references: it connects Beizama and Errezil via the old path bearing the designation PR-Gi 144.

The route through forests and meadows lies at the foot of Urraki, Illaun and Beleku. Thus, the route description includes both the landscape features of the path and the names of the mountains along whose foothills it runs. The name “Beizamako mendietan” refers to the mountains surrounding the old path between Beizama and Errezil.

The old path between Beizama and Errezil therefore connects various landscape elements in a single route description. Forests, meadows and the three named mountains collectively form part of the described route, while PR-Gi 144 additionally identifies it unambiguously.
