Above 592 metres

On the slopes of the Navarrese Pyrenees, the construction of the Itoiz dam in the 1990s
flooded seven villages and three nature reserves. A strip of bare land, 592 metres above sea
level, today marks a dividing line within the landscape of the valley. Below that level, the
water; above it, life goes on.
