Ibarra

Built along the Oria River, Ibarra grew into a small municipality in Gipuzkoa’s Tolosaldea district. It stands immediately south of Tolosa, where the narrow Oria valley is enclosed by wooded Basque hills rather than Spain’s coastal plain. Ibarra is closely associated with the Ibarra piparra: slender green chilli peppers picked young and commonly served as a pintxo or with local dishes; they carry the Eusko Label quality mark. The town became independent from Tolosa in 1802, reflecting the close ties that still shape this part of inland Gipuzkoa.
