Zubieta
Village
Its name, "place of the bridge" in Basque, refers to the two-arched medieval bridge over the Ezkurra river that characterizes the village. The municipality, which had as many as 633 inhabitants in 1930, today has 292 (2025), spread between the town and the hamlets of Ameztia, Aurkidi, Azkota, Mendrasa, and Sarekoa.
Carnaval de Zubieta: los joaldunak
Activity
On the Monday before Ash Wednesday, the joaldunak of Zubieta —wearing sheepskins, conical hats, and cowbells on their backs— go from house to house in the village collecting pork products and eggs before walking the three kilometers to Ituren; the following day they receive the visit of the joaldunak from Ituren. It is Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial (Intangible Cultural Heritage) of Spain.
