Orbaizeta Royal Arms Factory

It is considered one of the best exponents of 18th century industrial architecture. It was founded in 1784 by a Royal Order of Carlos III. After producing ammunition for years, and at some stage even cannons, it began in the mid-19th century to produce quality iron, which was later transformed in the Trubia and Oviedo factories in Asturias. It suffered a fire in 1869, and ended up closing in 1884. In 2007 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, for being a jewel of eighteenth-century architecture, essential for the study of industrial archeology and the history of the Royal Factories at a national level. peninsular.

Orgambide Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice viewpoint. Camping is explicitly forbidden

HRP hikers can decide here whether to descend to Béhérobie like the HRP on the map (recommended only if supplies are needed), follow the paved road east into the valley to the Harpea cave or, parallel to this, follow the grassy ridge above the valley (easiest Route, recommendation if you can do without the Harpea cave)

Orbaizeta Arms Factory

Highlight • Historical Site

Its enigmatic air and the fact that it is an important example of 18th century industrial archaeology have earned it the declaration of Cultural Interest.
The remains of the Orbaizeta weapons factory remind us that the main military industrial centre in the north of Spain was established here. It is located in a leafy and hidden corner of the Irati Forest.
Just above the factory, in a house-farmhouse, there is what is said to be the best sheep's cheese in the area, which can be tasted and sold.
