Basque Dancing in Getxo

This afternoon, there was a showcase of traditional Basque dancing in Getxo, about 20 minutes outside of the city. There were 75 different groups from all over País Vasco participating, so there were tons of people dancing and watching. The atmosphere was great, and even though we couldn't understand what the announcers were saying (my Basque still isn't quite up to par), it was great to witness the tradition.

All the different groups

I'm obsessed with this shoe/sock combo


Typical...cigarette and a San Miguel

There comes a time during the day when you just have to take off your hair.
