Anne Igartiburu, one of television's most recognized faces, speaks about the beauty of her hometown, Elorrio. An article by ‘Viajar’ magazine presents this town in Bizkaia as the communicator's "personal refuge," a place of "extreme natural beauty, with much history and a monumental ensemble worthy of admiration."
Elorrio, located in southeastern Bizkaia, is Igartiburu's birthplace. Its streets feature a medieval quarter, recognized as a Historical-Artistic Ensemble, with stone pavements and numerous noble crests. It also boasts Renaissance and Baroque palaces like the Arespakotxaga Palace and the historic Gothic cross of Kurutziaga.
Beyond its architecture, Elorrio offers nature. Nearby, trails include the ascent to Besaide mountain, where Bizkaia, Araba, and Gipuzkoa converge. Other options include the slopes of Udalaitz mountain, with mining remnants and caves, or the Arrazola Green Way.
Regarding her professional career, Igartiburu (born 1969) has been in television for decades. After starting with Telecinco and ETB, she hosted 'Corazón de Verano' on TVE in the late 90s. She has been an iconic figure for New Year's Eve broadcasts at Madrid's Puerta del Sol and currently directs the program ‘Vaya Par’ on ETB2.
