The climate varies between sub-alpine in the higher parts and sub-Mediterranean in the lower parts. The summers are short and mild, followed by long and harsh snowy winters, which allow the practice of skiing.
The prehistoric remains such as the dolmen of Arrako and the cromlech that surrounds it in the fields of Belagua or those of Roizu, and Sakulo as well as the grave goods that have been found in them attest to the human occupation of the Roncal valley since the Neolithic and the livestock and pastoral dedication of its inhabitants.
This battle took place during the Muslim incursion through the Pyrenees and after the battle of Poitiers. The forces of Abd-al-Rahman-el-Gafequi leader of the Caliphate of Cordoba presented battle to the forces of the Roncal Valley at the site known as Olast near Yesa. In the confrontation fell prisoner the leader of Cordoba Abderraman and a Roncal warrior cut off his head.
In the war between the Beaumontese and the Agramontese, the Roncals sided with John II, King of Aragon and Navarre, although their relations with Prince Charles of Viana (son of John II and pretender to the throne of Navarre) had been very good and their neighbors were in favor of him.
