From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the village and mandal in Srikakulam district see Gara, Srikakulam.

Gara (Basque: "We are") is a bilingual (Basque/Spanish) Spanish newspaper published in the city of Donostia (Spanish: San Sebastián) in the Basque Country (Spain).

Gara has 130,000 readers by its own account, and was first published on 30 January 1999 as successor to the leftist and pro-separatist newspaper Egin, which had been made illegal on 15 July 1998 by the noted prosecuting judge Baltasar Garzón.

On 12 March 2004 it became known that someone had communicated with Gara in the name of ETA, denying any ETA involvement in the March 11, 2004 Madrid attacks. ETA usually give notice in advance to Gara of the location of the explosive devices that the organization has set up.
