Sulbarán

Sulbarán is a municipality located in the province of Navarre, Spain. It has a population of approximately 46 inhabitants. The municipality covers an area of 6.55 square kilometers.

Sulbarán is situated in the northern part of the Iza Valley, a natural valley formed by the Iza River. The territory of the municipality also includes the mountain peaks of Armendi and Ulleizti. The area's terrain is predominantly mountainous, with slopes that rise steeply from the valley floor. This is reflected in the administration of the municipality, which has dedicated itself to the maintenance and protection of its natural boundaries and ecosystems.

The local economy is predominantly supported by agriculture, primarily farming and livestock raising. However, there has been a noticeable shift in recent years towards the tourism sector. This has been driven by the natural beauty of the area, including the presence of the nearby Bovia and Ulleizti forests. Outdoor activities such as hiking and hunting have become a significant source of income for the local community.

The town's history dates back to the early Middle Ages, but it is not until the 15th century that Sulbarán begins to take on its modern form. The area became a pivotal point for trade and communication between the provinces of Navarre and Álava. In the following centuries, Sulbarán has remained relatively unchanged, contributing to its distinct cultural and historical significance. As such, the municipality of Sulbarán is an important part of the region's natural, cultural, and historical heritage.
