The image shows the surroundings of the Durangoaldea viewpoint, located at the site of the San Juan de Momoitio hermitage. This stone building dates back to the 12th century, when its first stone was laid, and the area also preserves a necropolis from the 9th and 10th centuries, represented by several stone funerary stelae scattered across the grassy area.
