Aretxabaleta is a town in the province of Gipuzkoa, in the Autonomous Community of Basque Country, northern Spain.
It is located on the Bergara road, almost adjacent to its larger northern neighbor, the city of Arrasate, and the smaller Eskoriatza to the south.
In the past, the Basque name "Aretxabaleta" was commonly used, both in Spanish and in English[1] with the Spanish spelling, Arechavaleta. The local government (ayuntamiento) decided to officially change the spelling to the Basque "Aretxabaleta" on June 4, 1979. Their decision was authorized by Spanish central government on March 3, 1981.[2]
