The official name of the municipality is Trucios-Turtzioz . It is a bilingual denomination that was adopted by the City Council in 1996, and was published by the Official Bulletin of Vizcaya and the B.O.E. In the first months of 1997. The bilingual denomination responds to the fact that in the Basque Country there are two co -official languages, Spanish or Spanish and the Basque or Basque language.

Trucios It is the previously official name and is considered the formal name of the town in Spanish.

Tortioz It is the name proposed by the Royal Academy of the Basque Language as the formal name of the town in the Basque language. It is known that trucios has been a romance valley since ancient times. Traditionally there has been a variant of the Cantabrian or Montañés, very Castilianized in modern times. That is why Trucios lacked a traditional denomination in Basque. The name of Turtzioz is based on old written records, of an era in which Basque was supposed to be spoken in the area.

The belief that the current name of the municipality is a deformation of Basque expression is very widespread locally cold source (Fría source). From Iturriotz , through the documented form Tortioz It would have reached the current Trucios . The radical transformation of the name would be explained by the fact that it stopped speaking in Basque many centuries ago.

In favor of this theory is the karst character of the trucious zone. It is not unreasonable to think that a source with very cold water near the church of trucios gave name to the municipality in the past. In fact, there is currently a few meters from the neighborhood of the Church of Trucios a very cold waters spring from which the waters that supply the municipality are captured. This spring has been modernly baptized with the name of Iturriotz.

Against this theory is its speculative character. There is no documentary evidence that endorses that the town was called in the past Iturriotz. There is only Turtzioz’s documentary evidence that suggests an intermediate form between the current name and Iturriotz. There is no unanimity in philologists about the viability of an evolution Iturriotz -> Turtzioz -> Trucios. There is also no coincidence on whether in the past trucios was effectively a Basque town. Although there is Basque Toponymy in the parties, it is quite scarce to the west of sopuerta and almost non -existent in trucios. Some historians consider that trucios have always been outside the Basque linguistic field, which would invalidate this hypothesis. The arrival of Euskera in Trucio, like the entire Carranza Valley, can be considered late, among other reasons because it was first territory of the autigons, and the Basques did not displace the autigoons from these places until their conquest in the century IN d. C. The population of this region, quite Romanized, would be closely linked for centuries to other regions of the north of the current province of Burgos as in the Autrigone era, which allowed greater use of romance languages ​​such as Cantabrian and Spanish in front of the Little use and development of Basque.

The gentilicio is trucense , in Euskera it is said Turtentary .

The municipality of Trucios extends through the Agüera River Valley, distributing its hamlet by the bottom of La Vega and the slopes of the mountains that limit this small basin. Most of the population is concentrated at the bottom of the valley, on the right bank of the river, literally along a street, obeying its sinuous layout. This is the head -known neighborhood known as Church . Four small neighborhoods, The bridge , Pando , Basinagre and Romaña , can be considered as prolongation of this nucleus. Not so the neighborhoods of Cueto , Gordón and San Roque , at a certain height over the valley, they are old human settlements determined since the Middle Ages. In them the hermitages play a fundamental role, as an ancient center of cult and as a festive space (bulls).

Trucios is populated long before the Middle Ages. In prehistory, areas of occupation are determined in the mountainous levels that limit the valley. The caves of the areas of Peñalba and the Jorios were populated from the Bronze Age by people dedicated to the grazing of the horse and the cow, taking advantage of the rich pastures that these mountains offered during much of the year.

It has a great landscape richness (thanks to which the Natural Park of Arfañón has been created in the municipalities of Trucios and Carranza). It also has a trout fishing preserve as well as mountain routes for hiking and bicycle. Its situation is relatively close to Bilbao, as well as the Cantabrian beaches of Oriñón, Laredo and Castro-Urdiales.

Trucios is also an important meeting point for all those activities linked to the agricultural sector for their cattle fairs, food, etc.
