San Miguel en Excelsis (St. Michael in Excelsis), a sanctuary with more than a thousand years of history, stands high up on the Sierra of Aralar, just below the peak of Mount Artxueta, from where you can enjoy a stunning view. Its interior houses a Romanesque altarpiece, a masterpiece of European enamelwork. This spot will speak to you of the legend of the dragon and Teodosio de Goñi, of its Charlemagne-related past, and of the remote times of the dolmens that can today be found scattered amongst the fields and the beautiful beech woods in the surrounding area.
