Biography
She was born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country.[2] As a student at the University of Barcelona,[3] Urretabizkaia wrote the screenplays of:
- A los cuatro vientos, (English title: To the Four Winds), 1987
- Zergatik panpox? (Basque - released as a film in 1985)

In 1981 she also acted in La Fuga de Segovia film (English title: Escape from Segovia).[4]
The Basque theatre company Agerre Teatroa adapted her novel «Zergatik Panpox?» and performed in Madrid the resulting monologue, an interpretation by Maite Agirre of the feminine condition and fin de siècle solitude.
In 1988, the Basque Government's Department of Culture and Tourism created the Premio de Merecimiento de las Letras Vascas and appointed Urretabizkaia a member to represent Basque cultural interests.
