History of the house

The word “Maralotx” is a mixture of old Basque and Spanish languages that means “bad blacksmith”.

No one knows for sure how old the house may be, but what has been known for centuries is that tens of years ago it was the house of the town’s blacksmith, something proved by the finding during its renovation of an old forge in its oldest area: the cellar and old stables.

Since then, the coming generations that occupied this house were called by the town’s peoples as the “maralotxos”, and were known to host and care for the passing pilgrims for many years.
