Eibar, Industrial municipality in Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain
Located at 121 meters elevation in the Debabarrena region, Eibar stretches along the Ego river with surrounding mountain ranges defining its landscape.
Alfonso XI of Castile established Eibar in 1346 under the name Villanueva de San Andrés de Heybar, marking the beginning of its municipal status.
The city maintains strong ties to Basque traditions while housing the Escuela de Armería, Spain's oldest vocational training institution for metalworking and engineering.
The AP-8 motorway and Euskotren railway services connect Eibar to major cities, with regular transportation options to Bilbao and San Sebastián.
Since the 16th century, Eibar's metal craftsmen have produced intricately engraved small arms, establishing the city as a center for precision manufacturing.
