Tourism destinations
Towns
The first thing visitors to this locality in the comarca (county) of Tolosaldea will see is a host of farmhouses, both in the town centre and in the surrounding area. Some of them display mediaeval features while others have attractions of their own, like the Casa Oria, where there are millstones for grinding cocoa and chocolate, as in the past it housed a confectioner's shop.
The surrounding nature offers the opportunity to go hiking. If we take a walk in the woods, huge chestnut trees will fascinate us. We can also visit the archaeological site of Intxur, which is already declared a cultural asset within the denomination Official Complex of Monuments.
Besides, the 16th-century hermitage of San Gregorio and the Baroque church of Ntra. Sr. de la Asunción are also worth a visit. But above all, we cannot leave Albiztur until we become acquainted with the former wash house that was built in 1863, covered by a wooden shelter and with eight sides.
Black Beans
Finally, with regard to gastronomy, Albiztur is famous for its black beans, which are grown in the nearby vegetable gardens. In any of the town's restaurant you can taste this delicious dish, accompanied by cabbage, pork ribs, black pudding and chilli.
