Fuenterrabia, Or Fontarabia, a city and port of Spain, in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, at the mouth of the Bidassoa, on the French frontier; pop. about 3,000. It was formerly well fortified, but the French dismantled it in 1794. It has some manufactures of hempen shoes, linen, cloth, marine stores, and earthenware. It has sustained several sieges, and was the scene of a victory over the Carlists by the auxiliary British legion under Gen. Evans in 1837. During the peninsular war, the Fuenter-rabians were reproached with singularly inhospitable treatment of disabled British troops. Milton celebrated it in connection with the rout of Roncesvalles.
