THE GORGE AT LUMIER


Described locally as the best fluvial gorge in Navarre. Something of an understatement I would think. Imagine Cheddar, but deeper, with no road and certainly no tacky shops at the bottom. We emerged after a climb unexpectedly at the head of the gorge and were astonished at the chasm which dropped away from us. With cliff sides of around 1000ft and a turbulent river running along the bottom it was a stunning site. Also a haven of wildlife with many birds of prey to be seen hunting hundreds of feet below us.
