\"OlentzeroOlentzero will soon be at Casa Angiz Etxea<\/a>. We have left him a glass of cider so he can take a short break on this very busy night of December 24.<\/p>\n

Those of you who visit us every year may not know who Olentzero is and where he comes from.<\/p>\n

Olentzero is a fat, ragged man, stained with coal. In some songs we call him the “very smart big-headed one”. He lives isolated from society, dedicated to making charcoal in the forest, and he likes to eat and drink well. In the past, he used to come down from the mountains every winter to the villages to bring coal to homes. Today, he gives gifts to children in all the homes of the 7 Basque provinces: Navarra, Lower Navarre, Lapurdi, Zuberoa, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Araba,<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Olentzero is also the mythological and folkloric character who announces the arrival of Christmas and the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.<\/p>\n

If you want to learn how charcoal used to be made in Olentzero’s way, Irrisarriland park offers a visit to a charcoal kiln. Find out here<\/a><\/p>\n
