Villabona - Guipuzcoa
Villabona se encuentra en la cuenca del rio Oría, tras pasar el grupo de montes de Gazume y Uzturre. A 20 Kms. de San Sebastián, tiene una población de más de 5.500 habitantes. Villabona viene de la antígua población de Amasa, la cual se une a Tolosa en 1385. El título de ciudad lo logró a finales del siglo XV. Después de dividirse de Tolosa, los dos pequeños pueblos decidieron volverse a juntar. Es un pueblo eminentemente industrial, ya que en esta zona ha florecido de diversos tipos, como industrias papeleras, talleres de mecanizados especiales o sectores marmoleros. Darse una vuelta por Villabona supone disfrutar de su gastronomia y sus hospitalarias gentes.


There are a great number of agrotourism lodgings offering endless activities. The main tourist appeal is in its rural and mountain setting. There are two competitions of rebote, celebrated in July and September. Rebote is a style of the Basque sport [[Basque pelota|pelota]] that is only played in Amasa-Villabona and Zubieta. During the San Martín Festivities in November, Amasa celebrates the traditional [[Basque rural sports#Oilar jokoa .28chicken game.29|Oilasko Jokua]]. Boys, with their eyes covered, move forward to the sound of a music that tries to mislead them. They have to find a chicken, hit it with a sickle, and cut its head off.
Este pueblo cuenta con varios edificios de gran interés. El Ayuntamiento es del siglo XIX. El antiguo lo quemaron en 1.812 durante la Guerra de la Reconquista por ser cuartel de las tropas francesas. Se trata de un edifico de tres pisos con un gran escudo de piedra en la mitad del tercero. La parroquia del Sagrado Corazón fué construida en el siglo XX y tiene la base de una cruz latina. En Amasa se levanta la parroquia de San Martín de Tours, construida entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. Muy cerca se levanta la ermita de Santa Crúz, considerada la primera parroquia de la zona. Desde aquí podemos ascender al monte Loatzo, o disfrutar de un interesante paseo por los alrededores.


Between 2003 and 2007 the Mayor of the town was [[Bakartxo Tejeria]] who went on to be [[List of Presidents of the Basque Parliament|President of the Basque Parliament]] in 2012.<ref name=corrio>{{cite news|title=Bakartxo Tejeria, discreet and character|access-date=3 April 2014|url=http://www.elcorreo.com/vizcaya/20121120/mas-actualidad/politica/discreta-carcter-201211191325.html|newspaper=elcorrio.com|date=19 Nov 2012}}</ref>
El patrón de Villabona es Santiago, cuyas fiestas se celebran el 25 de Julio. En Amasa, se celebra San Isidro, el 15 de Mayo, y San Martín el 11 de Noviembre, en el que destaca el "Oilasku Joku", ceremonia en la que se corta el cuello a una gallina. Para orgullo del pueblo, cuenta con un coro infantil que fué fundado en el año 1.994, compuesto de unas 50 voces y comprendidas entre los 13 y 16 años. Si se tiene la oportunidad es aconsejable escuchar este coro para comprobar porqué ha sido premiado y reconocido en numerosas ocasiones.
