Isaba, also known as Izaba in Basque, is a picturesque village located in the Roncal Valley in the Navarrese Pyrenees, northern Spain. This charming village is known for its rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was a strategic outpost for the Kingdom of Navarre. Isaba offers breathtaking scenery with lush green meadows in spring, colorful autumn leaves and snow-capped mountains in winter.

The monastery of San Pedro de Siresa is a beautiful Romanesque-style monastery located in the town of Siresa (two kilometers from the town of Hecho). It is the oldest monastery in Aragon. There are guided tours of the monastery... and it is well worth it.

It is a gorge that allows access to the Oza Valley. Its entire route is spectacular. It is a MUST of the Pyrenees, both for the tranquility of the area, for its landscapes, and for the beauty of the route with the river next to it. One of my discoveries this year. The climb is very steep, with some ramps, but always very easy, which allows you to enjoy the gorge even more.

A beautiful port that unites the communities of Navarra and Aragón, specifically the towns of Ansó and Isaba. Specifically, it connects the Zuriza valley with the Roncal valley. It is a very affordable port and highly recommended because it allows you to travel through spectacular landscapes, on both sides. The Navarrese slope is shorter but more difficult than the Aragonese slope, which is very steep, except for the final kilometer which is 7 - 8%. What has been said, I reaffirm that it is a beautiful port that must be enjoyed.

Great view at the summit of Agua Tuertas pista. There is an unguarded shelter before the Agua Tuertas section in which you can rest for the night, with tables, chairs and even a cheminée.

This pass, both from the Ansó slope and the Isaba slope, presents the cyclist with a long climb (13 and 12 kilometres, respectively). On both slopes, the hardest part is at the end, highlighting the final kilometer of the ascent from Ansó, with an 8% unevenness. It is a quiet road with magnificent views of both the valleys and the nearby peaks.
