"Lequeitio has very good buildings and a number of palaces which, owing to their tasteful and luxurious construction, could be found in the very capital of Spain; but the one that stands out the most for its grandeur is the one belonging to the Adan de Yarza family, which is surrounded by gardens and parks in an area known as Zubieta."
Juan E. DELMAS.
