Villava (
Basque : Atarrabia) is a town and
municipality located in the province and autonomous community of
Navarre , northern
Spain . The population is about 10,000, and the town is located 4 km away from
Pamplona , the capital of Navarre.
The village was founded in 1184 by King Sancho VI the Wise of Navarre. For several centuries, Villava was just a little town, but in the 1960s, it grew considerably and became an important industrial suburb of Pamplona.

The area of the town is small (just 1 square km), and thus it is not expected to continue growing. It has a large industrial area dedicated mainly to the paper industry, informatics and bus assembly. The town has a good commercial area.
Due to its location on the
Way of St. James – and only 35 km away from
Roncesvalles – Atarrabia became the second stop on Spanish soil with the
hostel “Trinidad de Arre” which is used again today. Like many settlements on the Jacobean route, the town developed along the street used by
pilgrims , which is still the main street, Calle Mayor.

Overview of all Theme Weeks .
