Ujué/Uxue

Legend says a shepherd followed a dove into a hole in the rock and found an image of the Virgin there, and the Basque name Uxue is often traced to the word for dove. At 815 metres in its own sierra, Ujué packs cobbled streets around the fortified church of Santa María, which holds the heart of Charles II of Navarre. The view reaches the Pyrenees and the Ribera.
