Towns and villages

Mountains sometimes end up in the sea without leveling off beforehand. In this combination of mountain, river and sea the ports and coastal villages were established, by taking advantage of each space, and squeezing into the natural environment. This entire landscape shows traces of human presence. The towns and villages are historical settlements with a clearly marked personality; we can tell where someone is from by the kind of Basque that they speak.

The mountains are also inhabited. The farmhouses that occupy these are century-old production units that explain the development of the interior of Gipuzkoa. The industrialization that took place later transformed the river basins and created the current mosaic of towns and villages. Historical interest, rural charm and traditional seaside flavor. We’ve got it all.
