> Cuadrilla de Zuia, natural wealth
The Zuia Cultural Welfare Society Zuia, with an approximate area of 494 square kilometres and a population greater than 8,500 inhabitants, has a Cultural Welfare Society made up of residents of the municipalities of Aramaio, Arrazua-Ubarrundia, Legutiano, Urkabustaiz, Zigoitia and Zuia.
The area of Zuia is divided into two beautifully landscaped areas: The natural area around the foothills of the Gorbea-Aramaio Valley, made up of the municipalities of Aramaio, Legutiano, Urkabustaiz, Zigoitia and Zuia, and the Alavesa Plains, which peak out from the municipality of Arrazua-Ubarrundia.
This area´s orography, climate, and vegetation, as well as its oak forests, beech woods and grasslands, make for a series of landscapes which are the quintessential image traditionally associated with the Basque Region.
All these natural resources, reinforced by the establishment of the Gorbeia Natural Park and the Urkiola Natural Park and together with the rich architectural heritage found in the village centres around Zuia, give this region a special attraction as well as make it a place where there is much to discover and enjoy; a privileged place for the rediscovery of nature.
