LANDSCAPE
The landscape of Goierri is formed by a lot of mountains. The
most important mountains are in Aralar ( Txindoki, Gaztelu,
Ganbo,...) and in Aizkorri( Aizkorri, Aitxuri, Aketegi,...). There are
some lakes like Arriaran, Lareo, Baliarrain... .
But there are also fields and normally we
use them for agriculture. So in many fields
we can see farms and orchards with
tomatoes, potatoes, lettuces, carrots,
leeks...
Another important activity for
our economy is industry. In the
past in The Basque Country
there were a lot of mines and
one of the most inportant ones
was in Zerain.
