Donostia-San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain | Aldezaharretik barrena/Delving into the oldest district of the city

We will take a tour of the oldest neighborhood of the city focusing on the streets and buildings that are significant regarding the contribution of women.

We will start in La Bretxa, an old market, explaining the work of the fishmongers, farmers, water carriers/sellers and drum players. From there we will go to the San Telmo museum to talk about Gracia de Olazabal, who was the founder of this convent and others, an illustrious woman of these years from 1520 to 1550. We will pass by the sculpture in tribute to the reconstruction of the city in 1813. A reconstruction that was done, above all, by women. Finally, we will end up on Elbiria Zipitria Street, who was a promoter of education in Basque and the first clandestine Basque schools (ikastolak) during the time of Franco´s dictatorship.
