Araia
Araia combines a village heritage walk with a starting point for mountain outings below Aratz. Roman stones reused in a church wall make even a short exterior visit rewarding.

Keep exploring Basque Country with our travel partners.
The village stands where a medieval pilgrimage and trading route descended from the San Adrián pass to the Llanada Alavesa. That connection gives its mountain setting a human history, while the church, town hall and bandstand provide specific details to seek before heading into the surrounding hills.
What to look for
San Pedro’s exterior apse wall contains reused Roman inscribed stones.
The 1771 town hall displays the Asparrena brotherhood arms.
The main-square bandstand dates from 1918.
Useful to know
Circle San Pedro’s exterior to find the Roman stones rather than relying on an interior visit.
Keep a village walk separate from any ascent towards Aratz or the Altzania mountains.
