The Ezka river (in Spanish: Esca) is a tributary of the Aragon river that flows along 51 kilometers, mainly through the region of Navarra and to a lesser extent (14 kilometers) through Aragon ( province of Zaragoza). It rises at the junction of the Belagua and Uztárroz rivers in the Navarre town of Isaba ( Roncal Valley) and flows south through the valley to its mouth at the Yesa Reservoir, downstream from the Aragonese town of Sigüés ( La Jacetania).

In times of great pluviometry, overflows of its waters take place that affect the communication way NA-137 (Burgui-Isaba-France). [3] [4] [5] [6][ clarification needed]
The waters of this river are used as a bathing area during the summer in the Navarrese town of Burgui and in the Aragonese town of Salvatierra de Esca. [7] [8]
Through the waters of this river, the Day of the Almadía takes place, a festival declared a Festival of Regional Tourist Interest in Navarra and a Festival of National Tourist Interest organized by the Cultural Association of Almadieros Navarros, which is held every year in the Navarrese town of Burgui ( Roncal Valley).
