Mendukilo Cave

You will descend to 40 meters to the subsoil, you will observe a natural underground cathedral, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, gours or banners. Throughout 1 hour of guided itinerary and conditioned for the whole family, the treasures of the underground world await you.
Trekking
To get to know our nature and rich cultural heritage, there is nothing better than taking a mountain tour, a non-competitive sport available to everyone. Both Tolosa and Tolosaldea have routes with different levels of difficulty. From Korteta we recommend the Uzturre path. It is suitable for all levels and is very well signposted!
WHAT IS CELEBRATED?
Parties & Events
Tolosa Carnival
The name of Tolosa has crossed all kinds of borders for its carnival, which has endured in the face of all kinds of prohibitions and whose origins date back a couple of centuries. For six days the entire town is paralyzed and uses its imagination and daring to dress up and live it in the street with great noise and joy.
Choral Contest
This annual international choral competition has taken place in Tolosa since 1969, and always around November 1st. Its intention is to bring together the best choirs in the world, in order to make possible the exchange of styles, interpretation, choral literature, vocal education and modes of each country and, likewise, to publicize the musical and cultural tradition of the Basque Country.
