Ikaztegieta

Ikaztegieta is located in the east of the historical territory of Gipuzkoa within Tolosaldea region. The river Oria flows through the town that is surrounded by Aizkorri Mountain and Aralar Mountain Range.

The church of San Lorenzo, which dates back to the 16th century, is one of Ikaztegieta's outstanding buildings. The church reveals aspects of Basque Gothic. The hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, which is placed on the other side of the bridge that leads to Ordizia, is another wonderful construction.

The impressive landscape that spreads across the surrounding area offers a great opportunity to do some trekking and enjoy nature dotted with farmhouses. We can have a striking general view of the town from the nearby mountains.

Ikaztegieta has a varied cultural offer. The most important festival takes place at the beginning of August in honour of San Lorenzo. Besides, a cultural week is held at the end of November. The programme is packed with assorted events such as conferences, tale contests and theatre.
