Immerse
yourself in the beauty of Eugi, a picturesque Navarrese village that, with its
360 inhabitants and natural surroundings, evokes the essence of Switzerland. Discover
its mysterious ruins and landscapes that invite you to a unique experience.

Located
in the northern Valley of Esteribar, Eugi is a small municipality that has
captured the attention of travelers and international media. Known as
‘Navarre’s Switzerland,’ this charming village stands out for its white houses
with red roofs adorned with flowers, immaculate gardens, and a lake that
reflects its serenity, all surrounded by the lush forests of the Esteribar
valley. 

One of Eugi’s main attractions is the ruins
of an 18th-century munitions factory. These structures, overtaken by nature,
offer a mysterious and evocative landscape that transports visitors to bygone
times. The remains of stone walls, chimneys, and hydraulic mills, especially
the arches over the Arga River, are must-see spots for history and photography
enthusiasts. 

Beyond its historical richness, Eugi offers
a unique cultural experience. The Church of San Gil, built in 1898 and
renovated in the 1960s, houses modern frescoes that contrast with the area’s
tradition. The Eugi reservoir, created in 1973, adds a touch of serenity to the
landscape, making it a perfect place for peaceful walks and moments of
reflection. 

Visiting Eugi is to delve into a corner of
Navarre that perfectly combines nature, history, and culture, offering an
unforgettable experience for those seeking authentic and charming destinations.
