This village on the banks of the River Esca lies in the foothills of the Sierras of Santa Barbara and Arrigorrieta.
The distribution of the houses in Urzainqui clearly reflects the influence of the timber trade in the valley, surrounding, as they do, an old river quay.
Of particular note are the Chapel of San Salvador on the main road and the Church of San Martín, together with civil constructions, such as a tower-house from the 15th century.
