The core area of Aiako Harria and an extended strip along the borderline with Navarre were declared Natural Park in 1995, covering an area of 6,913 Ha.
The whole stretch features remarkable green beauty, plenty of water and abundant vegetation.

At Christmas time, hikers and devotees from Irun gather together at the Juncal cave so as to venerate Our Lady of the Juncal, beloved patron of the town.

The pass of Aritxulegi holds an affective significance for militant Basque nationalists tracing back to the Spanish Civil War, since an ANV member was first killed by Francoists at this spot.
A standing stone has been erected as a memorial.
Furthermore, a meeting is held here on a yearly basis on the Day of the Basque Soldier, the Gudari Eguna.

The Arditurri mines opened to public and tourist attendance in 2008, after years of revealing findings, arrangements and provisions.
A portion of 15 km of galleries, chambers and Roman-made interior lakes are on show for visitors.
