Summary
The medieval town of Villarreal de Urrechua, and the modern town of Zumarraga, which are neighbours and share some common history have now published the documental bases of their historical past in a single volume. The oldest documentation is that conserved in Zumarraga (thanks to the fact that in the town council of Arería, to which it once belonged, the Fuero of San Sebastian was also in force), and in spite of being older it includes however a bigger wealth of original diplomas in parchments. In terms of chronological sequence, the wealthiest collection is that of Villarreal, which has conserved the legacy of their ancestors like few other Gipuzkoan towns have.
