Explore "Youth and Egolatry" by Pio Baroja on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Baroja is a hamlet in the province of Alava in the district of Penacerrada. According to Fernandez Guerra, it is an Iberian name derived from Asiatic Iberia. I believe that I have read in Campion that the word Baroja is compounded from the Celtic _bar_, meaning mountain, and the Basque _otza, ocha_ meaning cold. In short, a cold mountain.
The district of Penacerrada, which includes Baroja, is an austere land, covered with intricate mountain ranges which are clad with trees and scrub live oaks.
