Culture

Goierri is a region rich in history and culture, where industrial tradition, architectural heritage, and popular legends come together.

One of its main attractions is Zerain, known as the Mountain of Iron, which has been a center for iron extraction since the 11th century. This industrial legacy has left a significant mark on the region's landscape and history.

The medieval villages of Segura and Ordizia are perfect examples of Gipuzkoa's medieval past, with cobbled streets, historical monuments, and architecture that transports visitors back in time.

The Monumental Complex of Igartza in Beasain is another of Goierri’s treasures, with buildings that tell the story of the region, especially linked to the iron industry.

Basque mythology is also an integral part of Goierri's culture, with ancient legends that come alive in its mountains and forests, passed down through generations.

The Zumalakarregi Museum, near Beasain, offers a glimpse into the 19th century, highlighting the figure of General Tomás Zumalacárregui and his role in Basque history.

Finally, the Cultural Landscape of Zerain invites visitors to delve into the town's history and traditions, where agriculture, mining, and craftsmanship have left a deep imprint on its cultural identity.

A very peaceful hotel to disconnect. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Daniela is such a sweetheart, always attentive and ready to recommend places to visit — truly charming. The food was exquisite, a 10! Those croquettes… ummm! I’d definitely come back. Thanks to all the hotel staff. Greetings and big hugs from a girl from the Canary Islands.

The friendliest hotel staff I’ve ever met. Daniela is pure charm and sweetness, and Jon gives you incredible tips on places to visit and where to park. I’ll recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Basque Country, and if I ever return, I’ll definitely stay again. The breakfasts and dinners were fabulous. In short, a 10 out of 10.

Wonderful stay at the hotel: very comfortable and clean beds. TV and A/C were perfect for comfort. Storage space was great, although the hangers were very old. Lighting was excellent. The bathroom was very clean, although there were no towel hooks for the shower.
