Más información

Erául is one of the most unique mountain villages in the Yerri Valley. Situated on high ground to the west of the valley, it overlooks a landscape of kermes oak groves, limestone cliffs, and open horizons that transform the surroundings into a true natural viewpoint over Tierra Estella.

Mount San Fausto defines the character of the village. Trails, viewpoints such as Lazkua and Altikogaña, climbing areas, and sites of great natural value—such as the Monumental Holm Oak of Erául—make the area a destination particularly prized by hikers, climbers, and nature lovers.

History is also part of the landscape. Erául was a strategic enclave dating back to the Iron Age; it saw Roman occupation and went down in history as the site of the Battle of Eraul in 1873, one of the most notable episodes of the Carlist Wars. Today, that legacy coexists with the old washhouse, the traditional oven, and the Romanesque church in a village where nature, history, and daily life remain closely intertwined.
