Izenaduba Basoa, more popularly known as the olentzero’s house, is the first theme park on the mythology of the Basque Country.<\/h2>\n

Izenaduba basoa is known throughout Bizkaia as the Olentzero’s house, but it is really much more, it is the first theme park about part of our culture and history.

The baserri Landetxo Goikoa is the oldest baserri of all Bizkaia and one of the oldest of all the Basque country, in it, we can appreciate the typical architecture of the Basque farmhouses. The baserri Landetxo goikoa is a baserri of the XVI century, more concretely of the year 1510, in which we have the opportunity to know the form in which our ancestors lived, everything an experience for all those people who have lived all the life in the city and are curious to know the way of living of long ago. This Basque farmhouse was acquired in 1999 by the City Council of Mungia and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, two organizations united with the same goal, to rebuild and give life to one of the most emblematic farmhouses in the area, an objective that was achieved with the opening of izenaduba basoa. <\/p>\n
