Services

Munitibar sits in the green heart of the Basque interior, and the locals — who will volunteer their opinion whether or not you ask — consider it the very center of the Basque Country. It has that feeling too: a compact village square, a church, a frontón, and the hills closing in on all sides.

The village has a bar and basic services. Old trading routes once passed through here, carrying wool and wine from Logroño to the coast and hauling fish back on the return trip — a reminder that these interior valleys were always connected to the wider world.

Fiesta:

January: San Vicente on the 22nd. June: San Pedro on the 29th. July: San Cristobal on the 10th. September: Nuestra Señora de Gerrikaitz on the 8th.

History:

The old trading routes once passed through here, sending wool and wine from Logroño up to the sea while hauling back fish on the return trip.

The Camino:

After crossing the main square in Munitibar, the camino turns left at the church to follow the main road out of town, though only for a short distance. Less than 50m beyond the river it turns left up a side road, climbing up to and beyond the Ermita de Santiago. From the ermita it descends towards Olabe.
