It’s just 20 km from the French border.

Around 1180The city was founded by Sancho the Wise, King of Navarre and so it became the maritime port of Navarre, only until the year 1200, when the city was conquered by Castile, whose king Alfonso VIII, preserved,

however, certain rights that the city already had. They even have a special language, Basque, the ancestral origins.
