• We have decided to improve the English article for Santutxu by translating information from the Spanish one into English.

Santutxu (spelled as Santuchu when written in Spanish) is one of the most populous neighbourhoods of Bilbao (Basque Country). It belongs to the 4th urban district, named Begoña. It is a popular residential neighbourhood which has also a relatively strong commercial area, including three food retail markets.

History

Santutxu (meaning little Saint in basque), owes its name to a hermitage which was dedicated to Francisco de Paula. This hermitage was founded in 1737 by Francisco Fernando de Barrenechea among others, and was built with the sole purpose of enabling its colonists to hear masses without moving to Begoña church. Since both the hermitage and the Saint figure inside were small sized, it was popularly given the name Santutxu, Santuchu in Spanish.

In those first years, every second of April was celebrated in honor of San Francisco de Paula with a Mayor Mass of great solemnity. Representatives of the Hall of the República de Begoña would attend this event, as well as members of the clergy that would take part in every religious event back in those days, where rockets, drumming and of course, a typical homemade basque wine named txakoli or chacolí in Spanish, were the order of the day.

In 1925, the church of Begoña was annexed (and with it, the neighbourhood of Santutxu) to Bilbao. In the XX century it went from being a semi-rural zone with great sandlots, to a highly populated neighbourhood, especially after the building and demographic growth of the 1960s.

Luis Briñas Public school is a singular building in Santutxu, located on Iturriaga street, nearby the Campa de Basarrate. It is monumentally protected and was designed by the architect Pedro Ispizua Susunaga (Bermeo, 1895 - Bilbao, 1976), to whom is also owed the renowed buildings del Tigre, the Mercado de la Ribera, the pergola of Parque Casilda Iturrizar or the Kiosco del Arenal.

Santutxu, according to the Bilbao Hall census data, has nowadays 33,346 inhabitants.

Other possible article improvements (optional)

Here are some of the articles that I have decided to start improving:

Vegetarianismo

• There are several more pages in red on the Spanish article for Vegetarianismo that could be edited such as Apivegetarianismo, vegetalistas, eubiótica, etc.

Apivegetarianismo

Los apivegetarianos son aquellos vegetarianos que admiten el consumo de miel en sus dietas. El prefijo api- también puede ser empleado en las demás definiciones, por ejemplo: apiovolactovegetarianismo, apiovovegetarianismo, apilactovegetarianismo.

Vegetalismo

El Vegetalismo es un hábito dietético basado en el consumo exclusivo de vegetales, sin incluir ningún alimento procedente del reino animal (leche, huevos, miel, etc.).

Eubiótica

La Eubiótica o ciencia de la vida higiénica, es la ciencia que se encarga del estudio de los distintos factores que influyen en conseguir y mantener una vida sana.

Momo (novel)

• The English version for Momo (novel) contains much more information than the Spanish one, so some of it could be added to the Spanish article by just translating.

Adaptations is an appendix on the English article that doesn't exist on the Spanish one and I have decided to translate it:

• Momo se adaptó al cine como una película italiana/alemana en 1986, en la que el mismo Michael Ende participó brevemente de narrador, quien se encuentra con el Profesor Hora (interpretado por John Huston) al principio de la película (y al final del libro).
• Trailer de Momo en Inglés on YouTube
• Momo (2001) es una película animada italiana basada en la novela. Fue dirigida por Enzo D'Alò y contiene una banda sonora compuesta por Gianna Nannini, una cantante italiana de renombre.
• El libro también ha sido representado en programas de radio.
• Ha habido un gran número de adaptaciones teatrales, incluyendo una ópera escrita por el mismo Ende y una versión en inglés de Andy Thackeray.
• También existe un audiolibro dramatizado alemán bajo el título de Momo (Karussell/Universal Music Group 1984, dirigido por Anke Beckert, narrada por Harald Leipnitz y cuya música fue compuesta por Frank Duval.
