From La Rhune one can see for miles as this nearly 3,000 feet massive formation overlooks Navarra and Lapurdi.
From Sare to Ascain, the views to the south are dominated by this large sacred mountain. From afar this natural edifice hides many remnants of history; dolmens and cromlechs (both man-made rock forms). Many people from witches and paupers of long ago to the prosperous Empress Eugenie of Montijo (wife of Napoleon III), have visited its flanks.One need only take a trip to its crest to truly appreciate the same panoramic vistas that people for centuries have enjoyed.

Eunate's Roman chapel is one of the many stops along the trail of Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Completely isolated in the countryside, octagonal in design it is surrounded by an eight-sided enclousure featuring a bell tower at its pinnacle. It is believed that long ago the chapel was used for funeral services of those who died during their pilgrimage or nearby hospital. Eunate
