The Fridge is a stable construct for the storage of large amounts of snow for processing ice, based on press it to achieve its conservation and future use in summer.
SARGIÑOLA Refrigerator
usually are located on the shady slopes of our mountains. Not necessarily in excessively high or steep. About especially considering that for later use and marketing, had to lower it to the city and the usual way at the time was the ox cart or on horseback. To construct it, digging large, deep holes, some of whom had drainage ditches for drainage of the liquefaction. In places where the mountains were formed by sedimentary rocks and caves are natural caves used for this purpose.
It was, ultimately, plant excavations more or less square, and its common sizes, from five to seven feet square and ten or more in depth. In some cases, some traces of masonry on the inside, depending on the type of ground, this being more common in clayey soils. They usually have a small lift or stone wall above the ground on which the deck sits in some cases, used to be made of overlapping stone slabs, thereby providing a close semi vaulted. This closure covering the sides and the roof, trying to protect the snow from the sun, rain and dust and dry leaves stirring in the wind, leaving a small opening oriented generally north than served access, which descended through a long stairway. Others, however, seem to be that they covered, without more, wide boards covered with branches.
these refrigerators are not exclusive of our forests, are found throughout our country, groups are known in Aralar , Aztgorri , Izarraitz , Adarra , etc. As in other provinces. They are called, usually the name of refrigerators, and in the area of \u200b\u200binfluence of Euskera retains the name "Elurzulo ." They are also currents across the Pyrenees. Some studies account for some three hundred in Euskal Herria . In Artajona (Navarra) had one that could read: Hic seruatur byems ut sit moderatior aThese . (Here is preserved the winter to summer is more benign.) In the villages of prepirineo and plateau, where snow plow more regular and abundant, not necessary to build the refrigerators in the mountains, while those in the vicinity of the villages. It was free constructions built with stones which formed thick walls, reaching six feet high, being the paraboloid, the most common.
The use of ice dating back to prehistoric times, where it was used for food preservation, but is from the Middle Ages, when it can be documented, the subject of regulation in the S. XVII. It out, for example the European Charter of Navarre in 1685, which cites that Navarre may collect snow and the "chasms and lezeas " of the mountains and Urbasa Andia. Snow ice was cut into blocks, with the help of bars, axes and saws, izándose abroad with a winch or hoist, installed for this purpose. The transport used to be the dark or the first light of day, and avoiding the heat of the day.
In Irun , Since ancient times, disturbed local authorities the desirability of refrigerators in the mountains of the municipality, and follows a provision made by the first ruler of the town, who feel collecting some private and state ecclesiastical on the usefulness of building a fridge so you do not miss ice a republic like that of both transit . These refrigerators used to be owned by municipalities and were embedded in communal lands, whose farm was leased out to stakeholders, but also have been privately owned refrigerators. In Irun was built of them for personal benefit in the mid-seventeenth century . (1)
Today we have in our municipal area with moderately well-preserved remains of five of these refrigerators. Although perhaps could have some more. Arburua
Also known as Arburuko - Zabala. Located near Aranako Borda, site located above the water tank Arrizurreta . It is the smallest and worst preserved of all the square-floor, three feet square and six deep, but it is very difficult to determine the background which are all faced with a dense layer of leaves and branches on the inside, so we assume that our measurement of the actual background, there may be some difference. Belongs, like the next two, the neighborhood of Meaka . Position: X 0599174, Y 4794957, Z 470.
SARJIÑOLA
Located mid-course of the race the same monbre and on its left bank, in its vicinity are the remains of what was the side of Lutegi . This bar is almost in perfect condition, even retaining the false dome cover. It has five feet square and about seven deep. Is an example to safeguard and restore for preservation and enjoyment of a visit. Position: X 0599083, and 4794882, Z 433.
ELURRETXE
is at the foot of the road from Irun leads to Aya Pena, next to the parking the same name. This fridge keeps part of the deck support and measures are, five feet by seven. The depth than ten meters. Perhaps with that of Pikabea , best known by all, and whose name " Elurretxe " has been extended to the site This name gives name to the hill and its surroundings could be due, perhaps, in the remains preserved in the refrigerator side, of what could be a bulwark or rectangular house of five three meters from the side, and which only appreciate its foundations. This rail, provide a service to use in conjunction with the tasks associated with the refrigerator. Position: X 0598572, Y 4794088, Z 496.

URDIÑEGI
This bar was the last to appear, despite intensive fieldwork carried out, it was not easy to find her, because to be within a private property, surrounded by barbed wire. Only perseverance in the work prospector paid off after long walks and raiding each other's land.

But what is not apparent is that it came to build such a refrigerator, because the place lacks any trace that it clears.
Of all the coolers mentioned, that of Sarjiñola is the most representative, being an almost intact sample what was once the tillage associated with the use of natural resources. It pays to be preserved because it represents an extraordinary example of industrial archeology, which should be kept and cataloged as part of our heritage and included in itineraries and tour guides.
is no doubt that the refrigerators were of great importance in the past, they were the only means were available for the production of ice in summer. Going through Irun real characters and other famous travelers favored the increase in consumption of ice. Thus arose a new trade or work commitment, which will bring together not only the tenants and those who worked in the bush but also those who were engaged in transporting and subsequent marketing.
Over time, the increasing demand for ice or frozen snow, spread to different social environments not only for domestic use, in terms of preserving food or fresh water production but also be used , with increasing demand, public facilities for making sorbets, soft drinks, as well as large parties. The lessor of the refrigerator Hernani in 1695, was obliged by contract to give away with a batch of ice to parts of Flaunt Armas, San Pedro Day, June 29.
