In northwest Navarre, at a point where the Leitzaran valley widens, crossed by the Plazaola Greenway and surrounded by mountains, the town of Leitza spreads out, made up of neighbourhoods that include a number of farmhouses. Green meadows abound in the area where sheep and cows graze, together with carefully-tended market gardens, fast-flowing rivers or dense forests. The result is a beautiful canvas that sums up the idiosyncrasy of this valley dominated by an Atlantic climate. Towering over the pretty old quarter, and visible from several points in the town, is the church of San Miguel. Its striking bell tower, the neoclassical porch and its blue-grey stone are part of the daily landscape of Leitza. Its streets are lined with large houses with gable roofs, wooden balconies and large eaves. Then there are houses with wooden structures and other noble buildings. One of these is the Town Hall. Its front is of blue-grey stone with a porch, balcony and Rococo coat of arms.
