The Basque Country is a land of identity and tradition. When you stay at our campsite in Sare<\/g>, you’ll be immersed in a unique culture<\/g>, where language<\/g>, festivals<\/g>, games <\/g>and cuisine take center stage. Passed down from generation to generation, these traditions are an integral part of everyday life in the Basque Country, where attachment to the land is<\/g> combined with a sense of modernity<\/g>. From the village of Sare<\/a> to the major coastal towns, the Basque soul can be felt in every stone<\/strong>, every song <\/strong>and every plate<\/strong> during your visit to the Basque Country<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Basque festivals, games and traditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"in<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The richness of Basque traditions is reflected in the many local festivals <\/strong>organized throughout the year: pastorale en Soule<\/strong>, f\u00eates de Sare<\/strong>, Bayonne<\/strong>, and the famous masquerade<\/strong>. These events bring together all generations around folk dances, music, convivial meals and shows. Traditional Basque sports<\/g> also take pride of place. On the one hand, Basque strength and its 10 spectacular disciplines <\/g>(stone lifting, tug-of-war, wood sawing…); on the other, Basque pelota<\/g>, played barehanded, with chistera or pala, in trinquets or on village pediments. Demonstrations <\/strong>are regularly offered to visitors, especially during the summer months. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Among the traditions of the Basque Country, cuisine occupies a special place. Not to be missed: Bayonne ham<\/g>, ewe’s milk cheese<\/g>, Basque cake<\/g>, PDO Espelette pepper<\/g> and Iroul\u00e9guy wines<\/g>. At the table, typical dishes such asaxoa<\/g>, chipirons \u00e0 la luzienne<\/g>, piperade<\/g> and tuna \u00e0 la basquaise<\/g> will delight you. And let’s not forget the pintxos<\/strong>, small bites to share as an aperitif, inherited from neighboring Spain. This generous and tasty gastronomy<\/strong> reflects Basque hospitality, true to the spirit of the region between the mountains and the Atlantic coast<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n
