When the Liberals attacked, the Carlists found themselves in a difficult strategic position: they had the Arga River behind them and only one way across, the Bridge of Larraga. The Liberal left flank was led by Baldomero Espartero, the central flank by Luis Fernández de Córdova. The Carlist fiercely defended themselves but were forced to retreat. Don Carlos was able to escape thanks to the efforts of the defense of the Larraga bridge by the Carlist brigadier Bruno Villareal. The battle was a Liberal victory, though the Liberals did not press forward and take advantage of the situation.
