Debagoiena

Debagoiena is associated to cooperatives, however, art, nature, gastronomy and festival traditions combine in this area.

The Arantzazu Sanctuary, where famous artists such as Chillida, Oteiza, Nestor Basterretxea and Lucio Muñoz participated in the construction, the monumental old towns of Oñati and Bergara, the medieval old towns of Arrasate-Mondragon, Elgeta, LeintzGatzaga or the Ibarraundi museum in Eskoriatza or the Museum of Interpretation of Historical Memory of the Basque Country in Elgeta offer us the secrets of the past, the grandeur of its monuments and the beauty of its surroundings.

Nature lovers can immerse themselves in the rural districts and parish churches through the network of trails, making it possible to get closer to areas of indubitable interest such as the Urkulu reservoir in Aretxabaleta, in the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park. We can also stroll into the depths of the Arrikrutz cave in Oñati.

Moreover, highlights among the vast tradition of festivals are the Alarde del Moro in Antzuola or the Corpus Christi festival in Oñati, and during the Gastronomy Seminars you can try the local cuisine.
