Village · Oroz-Betelu/Orotz-Betelu, Prepirineo, Navarra

Oroz-Betelu/Orotz-Betelu separated from the valley of Arce in 1845 and then adopted its own coat of arms, with two gold palm fronds crossed in saltire, taken from the parish of San Adrián. At 599 m altitude, it comprises the settlements of Oroz-Betelu and Olaldea, with 143 inhabitants (INE 2025). It preserves an oak grove considered one of the most valuable forests in Europe, alongside stands of beech, birch, chestnut, and wild cherry with a boxwood understory.
