Legazpi is a city in the Gipuzkoa province of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, northern Spain.

The rich industrial tradition of Legazpi goes back to the High Middle Ages, when transformation of iron ore was achieved by means of the haizeolak ("ironworks moved by wind").

During the 14th century, wind energy came to be replaced by water in the metal processing with the foundation of several "ironworks propelled by water" (ur 'water' and ola originally 'shack', are the two lexical components of "Urola", a river crossing Legazpi).

One of the 14th century ironworks (called Mirandaola) has remained in place to date like nowhere else in the Basque Country.

It is the heart of a thematic park with an educational and touristy vocation, where traditions and ways of living from the past are shown.
