Etxebarri (Spanish:Echévarri) is a town andmunicipality located in the province ofBiscay, in theAutonomous Basque Community, in the North ofSpain.
The town and municipality got the present name on 13 January 2005, officially changing the previous name "Etxebarri, Doneztebeko Elizatea" (Spanish:Echévarri, Anteiglesia de San Esteban) for the sake of simplification. It translates as "new home/house" (etxe "home",barri "new"). Prior to the introduction ofStandard Basque, the town's name was spelledEchevarri.
Etxebarri has an area of 33.38 square kilometres and a population of 11,563 (2019), with a density of 346 inhabitants/km2.
Being so close toBilbao (1.5 kilometres) has had a direct effect on Etxebarri. Until a few decades ago, Etxebarri was a small nucleus in which its rural population worked in industrial areas. Both the population and the industrial land increased considerably because of the congestion of Bilbao and the need for space for the installation of industries. Therefore, there was a significant increase in new population in the locality. In addition, since 2004, the Metro Bilbao underground train has reached Etxebarri. In fact, the threshold stipulated for the town in 2012 is about 10,000 inhabitants. It has ametro station of theBilbao metrorapid transit service and atrain station of thecommuter rail serviceEuskotren Trena.
