The Oyón-Oion refrigerator was a highly valued resource, owned by the municipality.
It is said that it was built with leftover stones from the Santa María Church, did you know? To decide who would take advantage of it, it was put up for auction. Taking care of the refrigerator was work all year round: in summer and autumn, collecting straw and in winter, snow. The filling process began by covering the bottom with a layer of straw. Then snowballs were placed and then pressed, using feet, shovels or hammers. And so it was repeated until it was full.
