Type casting!

The inhabitants of the Basque Country love nothing better than partying: singing, dancing and popular festivities, such as the Bayonne Festival are red letter days throughout the year.

No, best forget it! The contests of the Basque Trials of Strength are only for the fittest! Bale tossing, tug-of-war or plough-handling are live demonstrations of an attachment to rural traditions.

Instead, try your hand at Basque pelota in a trinquet. You have the choice between three specialities: bare hand, la pala and the chistera.

More tempted by rugby? On the pitch, in the stands or during the third half, you will feel very much at home in the Basque Country!

Those looking for more thrills and excitement will opt for a bullfight in the Bayonne arenas during the summer season.
