The Sierra de Entzia mountain range, which you can reach from Salvatierra over the Opacua mountain pass, is formed by communal lands whose pastures and woods are shared by several villages belonging to the regions of Salvatierra and Campezo. Thanks to the efforts of so many people over the ages, this mountain range is in a magnificent state of conservation. It contains forests of beech, enormous open fields such as Legaire, where horses graze in semi-liberty, megalithic monuments such as the Menhir de Itaida or the Cromlech de Mendiluze, caves and and refuges for shepherds who are always ready to teach you something if you stop to speak to them. The northern slopes are quite steep, but those to the south from part of a small table land which descends slowly and is easy to negotiate on foot or by bicycle The crests that crown the Bayo are one of the favourite places for lovers of hang-gliding and delta wing.
