- The work to obtain wood from the forest has destroyed the mourning of Fagamendi, which has been broken. This megalithic monument was built thousands of years ago, it was part of the route of the Dolmens of Etxarri Aranatz, and so it was pointed out in the signs.
The neighbours of Etxarri Aranatz have been the ones who have warned of the accident, which has had no consequences. Along with the dolmen, they added that the trees that mark the route of the mountain have also been torn off: “The only thing they have left is a sign announcing the duel.”
The Hilharriak group, which works on the conservation of megalithic monuments, has shown its discomfort about what happened. They added that the Fagamendi building is not the first megalithic building destroyed in the Basque Country.
Etxarri Aranatz has lost some of the heritage of the people. It was discovered by Joxe Miel Barandiaran in 1954 and has been part of the Route of the Dolmens, created by the City Hall to make known the historical and archaeological heritage.
