Burguete (Auritz, in Euskera) lies between two mountain streams forming the headwaters of the Urobi River and is surrounded by meadows and forests. The town was immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, with its evocative description of trout fishing in an ice-cold stream above a Navarran village. Hemingway himself spent time here doing just that, and he stayed at the Hostal Burguete.
