The sheepfolds that the shepherds set up with their flocks on the mountain were known by different names in the Basque Country: ''sel, gorta, saroi, sarobe or kaiolar.'' They are precisely in those spots where the livestock would instinctively find shelter.
The shepherds had to build these cabins every year as the structures did not withstand the harsh winter; they were often knocked over by the ''monchina'' cows. There were erected on the highest part of the mountain, on the peak or close to it, on the pasture land. At nightfall, each shepherd gathered his flock near to the cabin where it stayed all night; they did not enclose them in pens. When the shepherds woke up in the morning, the ewes had usually wandered off to graze.
