Baratzondo farmhouse

Belongs to Zubelzu family, dedicated to the Ibarra Piparra (pepper) production, it’s a very special building. The surrounding area is very beautiful in June and August in particular, when it gets an intense colour thanks to the pepper plants bearing their fruit.

Txarama

In this neighbourhood we can see the remains of Tolosa’s paper industry. There’s an abandoned paper mill, althought most of the engineering used for the exploitation of the water of Araxes river that is on the surroudings still remains. Nowadays plenty of people go there fishing, and in summer even to have a bath on the dam.
