Alsasua Hotels and Accommodation

Alsasua, or Altsasu in the mysterious Basque language that is spoken locally, is a town in the north of Spain, in the autonomous community of Navarre. It contains about 7,150 inhabitants. To this day, philologists engage in vigorous debates as to the origins of the town's name. They question whether the original Basque name town stood for "alder" or "fire." Regardless, this picturesque town, resting in the Sakana Valley and nestled by the Sierra de Urbasa and the Altazania mountains, has appeared here and there in historical documents dating from the Middle Ages. Tradition has it that the first king of Navarre was crowned in Alsasua, although it is unconfirmed.
