Durango, Bizkaia. Today and tomorrow (for many in Hegoalde, tomorrow is a holiday and so today is zubia or bridge) are the last two days of this special edition, the 55th of the Durango Basque Book and Album Fair, better known as the Durangoko Azoka (Durango Fair). This is the referential event each year, the main meeting point for the Basque Country audience with the country’s creators and their works, books, records, computer material, videos, films in Euskera or Basque themes.
Due to the pandemic, organizer Gerediaga Elkartea worked hard to gather programs that could be followed online, with in person activities and concerts streamed online, with videos made available later on. Providing interested people the possibility of making all their purchases online, although shipping (free for orders over 45 Euros) is only available domestically.
