The Pyrenees are the natural border between France and Spain. In many respects
they are similar to the Alps, but the Pyrenees are in a more natural and untouched
condition.
Climate
In the west (Navarra) the Atlantic climate is very mild, whereas the central
and highest part of the Pyrenees have a very strong alpine climate (similar
to that of the Dolomites). The further east you go the stronger the Mediterranean
influence becomes noticeable, and the hills drop towards the Mediterranean.

Western Pyrenees
The region Navarra along the Atlantic is a quiet, region of modest beauty,
full of surprises and charms. Navarra is a very recommendable destination
for a holiday close to nature, for hikers and cyclists, for friends of rich
and exquisite meals and good wines.
The western and northern part is inhabited by Basques, whose language and
lived traditions can be seen and felt everywhere. The rolling hills are more
gentle and greener here and the Atlantic influence is greater than in the
eastern part where the hills of the Pyrenees slowly rise.
The pilgrim path "The Way of St. James" (Camino de Santiago) leads
through Navarra and many castles and cloisters are witness to a moved history.
You can also visit Pamplona, San Sebastian and Bilbao from our small hotels.
