Iturrieta
Iturrieta (, ) is an experimental farm in Álava, Basque Country, Spain. It is located within the Parzonería de Iturrieta ( eu, Iturrietako partzuergoa), a common land managed by neighboring villages. Etymology The name is composed of '' iturri'', the Basque word for "spring" or "source"; plus the common toponymic suffix '' -eta''. Thus, the placename literally means "place with fountains" or "the fountains". History The area has a large number of prehistoric megalithic monuments, but their dating is uncertain. The first mention of Iturrieta was in 1563. By that time, the village was already abandoned, with its lands and St. Mary's chapel (the former parish church) managed jointly by the neighboring villages of Salvatierra, San Vicente de Arana, Kontrasta, Ullíbarri-Arana, Alda, Onraita and Róitegui. On 27 May 1803, the authorities ordered the demolition of the chapel. The image it housed was first moved to the nearby Santa Teodosia chapel. Only two years later, in 180 ...

Santa Teodosia Chapel
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring children gifts during the late evening and overnight hours on Christmas Eve of toys and candy or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are "naughty or nice".
