**The Walled Woman of Irarrazabal** ::leyendas 
 <div style="text-align: justify;">
The legend of The Walled Woman of Irarrázabal takes us back to the turbulent 15th-century banderizo wars, a time when violent conflicts between noble families shook the Basque Country. This is the setting for the tragedy of Teresa, a woman marked by the massacre that destroyed her home in the Bustinaga tower. From that moment on, her life is driven by revenge, which she pursues relentlessly for years, punishing those responsible one by one—except for one: Domenxa of Ituriza, the young woman who once saved her husband Joanes' life.
At the same time, the story follows Iban of Irarrázabal, a young warrior who, after years dedicated to war and the hunt, falls deeply in love with Domenxa. Their wedding brings a rare moment of peace and joy in troubled times, but foreboding signs soon begin to appear: rumors of Teresa’s return and the unsettling feeling that danger is drawing near. When Iban finally returns home, he discovers the terrible truth: Domenxa has been kidnapped and entombed alive within the walls as part of Teresa’s final act of vengeance.
What follows is an unstoppable descent into tragedy. The tower of Irarrázabal burns, Teresa plunges into the Deba River while trying to escape, and Domenxa dies before Iban can save her. Two days later, only ashes and silence remain. The legend ends with Iban alone, condemned to live with the memory of the woman he loved, while the name Irarrázabal becomes forever linked to this sorrowful chapter that has survived in Deba’s collective memory.
