Montejurra in Spanish and Jurramendi in Basque are the names of a mountain in Navarre (Spain) region. Each year, it hosts a Carlista celebration, in remembrance of the 1873 Battle of Montejurra during the Third Carlist War. In 2004, about 1000 persons were present.
On 9 May 1976, during the Spanish Transition far right-wing gunmen, supported by the Spanish secret services, killed two people in the Carlist Party celebration. Such events are known as Montejurra Incidents.
