Aitzol Altuna on Gipuzkoa's Navarrese history, Aretxabaleta
On Friday 20 November 2026 at 18:30 the Zaraia Aretoa in Aretxabaleta hosts a talk by Aitzol Altuna titled Historia navarra de Gipuzkoa, held in Basque. The listing argues that today's Gipuzkoa is often described as if it had always existed, whereas the present reality is the result of a long and tangled historical path. The talk aims to highlight the role of the free Basque political institutions that is often played down in the usual account. It recalls that the lands that later became Ipuscoa and Gipuzkoa belonged to the duchy of Vasconia after the Roman empire, that the Kingdom of Pamplona-Navarre arose after the battles of Roncesvalles, and that Ipuscoa is first mentioned in 1025. The session runs from 18:30 to 20:00. The listing does not give a price. A talk like this is easy to attend alone, since people come for the subject and questions can start conversations. «Gerora Ipuscoa eta Gipuzkoakoak izango ziren lurrak, erromatar inperioaren ostean, Baskoniako dukerriaren barruan egon ziren.» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.
