Deba, City from Spain
Deba is a municipality in the Basque region of Gipuzkoa on the coast of the province. The town sits where the Deba River and another river meet before flowing into the sea.
The place began as a fishing settlement on the coast and developed over centuries because of its strategic location by the water. Over time, the town grew into an important port and trading center.
The place takes its name from the Basque language, meaning two, referring to the two rivers that converge here. Visitors can experience this geographical connection by walking through the town and along the riverbanks.
The place is best explored on foot and offers good access to its harbor and river areas. It is worth visiting in good weather to fully enjoy the river landscape and surroundings.
The town was a center of shipbuilding craft in the region and many traditional techniques were passed down there. Today visitors can still spot traces of this maritime tradition in the structure and character of the place.
