Tolosa

The town of Tolosa was officially founded in 1256 by Alfonso X the Wise, although people had been living in the area since ancient times. The first references to the settlement date from the year 1025.
Ever since the Middle Ages, Tolosa has been an important commercial centre and a bustling hub of travellers and traders.
More recently, it was known for its thriving paper industry and was the capital of the province of Gipuzkoa from 1844 to 1854. It is situated in the centre of that province, 25 km from San Sebastián, and currently has around 18,000 inhabitants.
