Travel Guide
Elizondo – Baztan Valley
The ancient Kingdom of Navarre comprise the autonomous communities of Navarre, Basque Country and La Rioja.
Elizondo is a town located in the province and is located on both banks of the Baztan River. The town is the capital of the Baztan valley and is one of Elizondo is one of fifteen settlements in the valley.
The history of the Baztan valley dates back to around the year 1025. During the War of the Pyrenees in late July 1794, the Battle of the Baztan Valley took place in the area. In 1813, British General William Stewart located his headquarters in Elizondo during the Battle of the Pyrenees. That’s not the history of the area explored in this trilogy however – rather the exploration of local superstitions woven into the plot is the history and landscape of this novel.
Pamplona
Pamplona is the capital of Navarre and is where the police are from who work on these investigations.
The cultures and customs from this city make up a lot of the story and in particular, the Running of the Bulls (Feast of San Fermín) which takes place in July.
It’s also a major stop along the Camino de Santiago, a medieval-era pilgrimage route, and so the legends and stories of folklore are varied as you can imagine!
