Beeches forest in Urbasa-Andia natural park. Navarra. Spain

Beeches forest in Urbasa-Andia natural park. Navarra. Spain
Urbana-Andia natural park.
This Natural Park is located on the north-western part of Navarre, between the Canyon to the north and the Estella Region to the south. It consists of spaces surrounded by beautiful and extensive valleys.
It was declared a Natural Park on March 1997.
The most distinctive feature of area are the beech forests, it is fundamentally the beech trees and the grasslands that form part of the history of this park. The configuration and structure of the Natural Park is karst, which means that the land consists of limestone massifs in which there is erosion by dissolving cracked structures allowing the passage of water in deep zones. This is the reason that the park has a lot of underground water stored.
In the Andía Mountain Range there are abundant cavities between caves and chasm, plus the countless sinkholes (funnel-shaped circular depressions). The clearings or pastures where horses, sheep and cattle graze.
