The Zazpirak Bat Basque Club initiative, in Gral. Las Heras, is a classic and so on its 4th edition it gathered a large group of participants once again.  During the entire week, as seen in the photo gallery, the club provided the community with a large number of activities linked to the rural sports and some other Basque traditional ways, like mus, pelota paleta and dance.
