._LEGAZPI

the history of iron began in the 11th century, with the wind forges that were located in the mountains (called “haizeolak” wind forges or “gentiletxeak” houses of gentiles).

In the 15th century, along with agricultural and pastoral activities, there were more than 20 forges.

The forgers or “olagizon” have always fought with the landlords or “baserritarrak”, claiming their status as the first inhabitants of the valley.

It should be noted that these two groups were governed by different codes of law.
