🎉 Get a glimpse of the magic of Basque Carnivals!

🎭 In this short video, we take you on a tour of the rich traditions, mythologies, and mysteries of the Basque Country, as we show you glimpses of some of the most enchanting carnivals in the region.

🔍 Discover the fascinating history and legends behind the Joaldunak bell carriers, who lead the way in many Basque festivals with their distinctive attire and hauntingly beautiful music.

You'll also get to join in the fun and hilarity of San Sebastian's famous carnival, which includes a tongue-in-cheek parody festival known as the "Tamborrada" where thousands of people dressed as chefs march through the streets and drum on cooking utensils to celebrate the city's patron saint, San Sebastian.

🔍 But the real star of the show is Zaldiko, the facetious horse of the villain Miel Otxin. Zaldiko is a beloved character in Basque mythology, and his antics are a highlight of many Basque festivals.

In this video, you'll see Zaldiko in action as he tries to defeat the big Ziripot, a giant figure made of straw and old clothes that symbolizes the end of winter and the arrival of spring.

🔍 Special thanks to Stéphanie Langlet, our Unhotel partner and founder of Ethno travels, for providing the video clips and sharing her expertise on the history and stories behind the Basque Festivals.
