Although today the official name is Aulesti, at the time of the creation of the antechurch it was called Murelaga. Aulesti was the name of the street where the church was located, known as the village, and that is how it was named. It is made up of seven quarters and each of them has a hermitage from the Middle Ages.

The square is located in the middle of the village, next to the road, next to the church. It consists of 6 large pillars made of limestone from Mount Oiz and has 5 bells. One of them is called the bell of Bethlehem and dates from 1626. This bell was rung on stormy days when the spells were cast. In addition, it had a labor: if a woman was in labor, the bell was rung so that those hard moments would be enjoyed and the baby would come out healthy.

Rest area: The river park

If you take the path that leads to the Urriola neighbourhood, next to the pelota court, you will come to a park on the banks of the Lea river. Taking advantage of the passage of the Lea, the rest area has become ideal for swimming, sunbathing, playing football, enjoying the picnic area… Ideal to enjoy it with the family.
