I visited the San Sebastian as a student in 1982. There was a very steep and crooked street in San Sebastian named "Rua De Aldapeta".

The main library in San Sebastian said that Aldape means mountain slope in Basque.

I traveled to Guernica and located a person with the last name of Aldape and he looked just like my cousin in Laredo, Texas!
