Irun (Template:Langx, Template:Langx) is a town of the Bidasoaldea region in the province of Gipuzkoa[1] in the Basque Autonomous Community, Spain.
History
It lies on the foundations of the ancient Oiasso, cited as a Roman-Vasconic town.[2]
During the Spanish Civil War, the city was site of the 1936 Battle of Irun, which ended with a strategic victory for the Nationalist forces.
Geography and transport
One of the biggest towns in Gipuzkoa, its location on the border between Spain and France, across the Bidasoa river from Hendaye,[1] has made Irun into a commercial and logistic centre. Irun railway station is a major break-of-gauge where the SNCF 1,435 mm (Page Template:Fraction/styles.css has no content.4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge rails meet the 1,668 mm (Page Template:Fraction/styles.css has no content.5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) broad gauge Renfe ones.
Currently Irun has a fairground with a modern exhibition and telecommunication facilities, just some 100 metres away from the actual border at the Santiago Bridge (river Bidasoa).
Irun is part of the conurbation of Txingudi bay with Hondarribia and Hendaye; the town is also within the area of the Eurocité Basque Bayonne-San Sebastián, a European economic interest grouping. (fr)
Culture and tourism
One of its main festivals is the Alarde de San Marcial, a parade recreating an episode of the Peninsular War, held every year on 30 June.
There are hot mineral springs in the town.[1]
Sports
The town is home to one of Europe's top handball teams, CD Bidasoa, who play at the Artaleku Udal Kiroldegia.
Its football club is Real Unión who play in the third tier, and are based at Stadium Gal. There is a Real Unión B in the seventh tier.
Climate
Irun has an oceanic climate courtesy of strong maritime moderation from the Bay of Biscay. Rainfall is frequent year-round since Irun is on the windward side of the Pyrenees. Rain often falls in high quantities on individual days with 1,649 millimetres (64.9 in) falling on just 138 days.[3]
