We recommend to visit, the environment, the Natural Park of Izki, in the Southeast of Álva there is a big diversity of landscapes and it is the third biggest park of the Basque Country.
Essentially, Izki is forest and rock. Mainly “marojal”. But there are also beech, mixed forests… they cover big part of the natural space. Small rivers-Izki, Moino, Berron are in the valley. In the sky and in the rocks: royal Eagle, falcon, Egyptian vulture, vulture… In the wide pastures of the high areas the cows, mare and sheep graze. And there are artificial caves, hermitages, villages, burial mounds, castles, archeological remains… and the medieval village of Korres, only urban core inside the Park.
Located in the foothills of the Sierra de Codés, under the gaze of the Loar and Costalera mountains and bathed by the waters of the river Ega, in the Alava Mountain Gang. Several noble houses are preserved and the square is an octagonal stone fountain with water pipes in tawny heads. The church of the Assumption, declared of Cultural Interest, is located in the center of Old Town, raised in the XIV century and with hall floor and polygonal head, Renaissance chorus and a choir stalls carved in the late of the XVII century, it has a big altarpiece from the beginning of XVIII centuries. In the highest of the villa is the hermitage of our Lady of Ibernalo, we find an amusement area with picnic tables and playground games. There are covered fronton and a sportive complex with swimming pools. In the outskirts there are the remains of a Franciscan convent. The area is good for hiking and one km from the villa is the park of Fresned with picnic area and fluvial swimming pools.
