Ujue-Uxue, “PURE HISTORY, LIVING HISTORY”. From the Bronze Age when it was a centre of pagan worship, through the Middle Ages when it became the first defensive bastion of the Kingdom of Pamplona, to its present day situation as majestic vantage point, Ujue preserves its rich history. In Ujue–Uxue time stands still: its narrow and labyrinthine streets and its houses built and preserved with limestone return us to the Middle Ages. Above them, the fortified church rises from the mountain. It combines two architectural styles, Romanesque and Gothic, constituting an explicit example of the historical passage of time.

Inside the Church, two elements stand out in addition to the exquisite capitals, walnut choir stalls and fresco: the image of the Virgin of Ujue and the heart of King Charles II of Evreaux who so adored the virgin that he wanted his heart to rest embalmed at her feet.

Here, the local way of life, customs and gastronomy are strongly rooted. It is worth mentioning the centuries-old procession that takes place during the month of May. From Sunday to Sunday the surrounding villages carry out their pilgrimages. The Sunday following St Mark's day is particularly popular. Each village sings their particular song in the form of a prayer before the Virgin Mary. The pilgrims come dressed in black robes and bearing crosses. The silent procession is interspersed with songs specific to each locality.

With regard to cuisine, 'las migas de pastor' (a dish based on breadcrumbs) are a local delicacy, along with caramelised almonds, traditional bread, famous wines, oil, biscuits and 'rosquillas' (like a crispy doughnut), etc. Visitors to the town will easily happen upon establishments selling these treats.

The way of life in the village is simple, based on the primary sector and services. Extensive cereal, vine, olive and almond farming have formed the livelihoods of most of the population. Currently, as a result of the increasing popularity of rural tourism, the service sector is also becoming an important source of income for the population.

In the 112Km2 of land around the village and pertaining to the municipality, there are also plenty of important things to see. Its views of the Pyrenees and the Ribera del Ebro are unparalleled. Also worthy of note is the Mediterranean forest which is home to the largest strawberry tree in Navarra, particularly magical during the months of November and December.
