Agorreta - Bells

Several villages in the valleys of Esteribar and Erro keep some of the oldest bells of Navarre. Most of them don't ring anymore. They were not mechanized in the past and parallel to the loss oh inhabitants of the villages (Agorreta has a census of 32 inhabitants today), the churches also have lost their original function. As listening to this XV. century bells (the drive is manual) and even approaching to them becomes impossible, as San gil Abad church is generally closed, this documentation intends to make a first approximation to these heritage.
