Valle de Egüés/Eguesibar
Valle de Egüés (Spanish: Valle de Egüés, Basque: Eguesibar) is a municipality of Navarre, Spain, in the metropolitan area of Pamplona. Its population is 19,014. The valley comprises several settlements, some of them are actually suburbs of Pamplona and other completely rural villages. Some of them are seat of concejo, (Alzuza, Ardanaz, Azpa, Badostáin, Egüés, Elcano, Elía, Ibiricu, Olaz and Sagaseta), but others are just settlements without any administrative entity (Echálaz, Egulbati, Eransus, Gorráiz, Ustárroz and Sarriguren). Gorraiz, Olaz, Alzuza, Egüés and partly also Badostain have grown as residential suburbs of single-family houses. Sarriguren is being developing as a residential suburb of apartment housing. There are also several industrial parks. Sarriguren is leading in Navarre the increasingly important sector of renewable energy technologies; it is seat of the National Center for Renewable Energies (CENER) and of Acciona Energía. The Museo Oteiza is in Alzuza. Movistar Team, the direct descendant of Miguel Indurain's Banesto team, is based in Egüés.
History
El valle apareció documentado por primera vez en el siglo XII y de él formaron parte los actuales municipios de Huarte hasta 1661, Burlada hasta 1971 y el actual barrio pamplonés de Mendillorri hasta 1998.
De las equipaciones del valle destaca la Clínica Ubarmin, situada en el término concejil de Elcano, la cual forma parte de la red de hospitales públicos de Servicio Navarro de Salud en la especialidad de traumatología. También es destacable la ubicación de las sedes de dos empresas energéticas como Acciona y Gamesa en Sarriguren.
