Sabrina Otegui / Buenos Aires, Argentina - Lima, Perú. When he started going to the Lima Basque Club, Julen Meneses Vergara, did so above all to accompany his father. But, after a short time he was attracted himself by the camaraderie found at the Mus tables, and began to play. Today, this young Basque-Peruvian participates in all of the activities provided by the Lima Basque Club, with the common goal to provide cultural and leisure proposals for people of all ages who want to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of their Basque roots.
Julen has never visited the Basque Country and dreams of going to Tolosa one day, the town in Gipuzkoa where his grandmother came from. “I would like to see the town where she grew up, where he became the person that I know and admire,” he said to EuskalKultura.eus.
Despite his age, Julen has Mus experience in various tournaments as well as representing Peru at an International Tournament. He also shares some pointers on how to win at Mus. Mila esker, Julen!
