What to see and do in Arakil

Arakil
Village
A valley formed in 1857 by the union of 14 councils; in 1996 the council of Irurtzun, the most populous, became independent as its own municipality. Today Arakil comprises eleven councils —Ekai, Etxarren, Etxeberri, Eguiarreta, Erroz, Izurdiaga, Satrustegi, Urrizola, Villanueva de Arakil, Yabar, and Zuatzu— with 990 inhabitants (2025). The place-name may derive from the Roman way-station "Aracaeli," cited in the Antonine Itinerary (455 AD) on the road from Astorga to Bordeaux.
