        \n

        This event consists of two races: Artzei (15 km) and Zaldei (26 km). The full route forms a figure of eight, with the town of Zestoa at the centre. Many archaeological remains and some spectacular wall paintings have been found in the area around Zestoa, dating back to early humans who inhabited several caves here in the late Palaeolithic period. The route of this race weaves through them, following paths that our early ancestors may once have trod.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Cuisine<\/h3>\n
        \n

        Food is a very important part of Basque culture. Basque speakers have a strong tradition of celebrating around the dinner table, so great importance is given to the produce.<\/p>\n

        Pintxopotea<\/h3>\n
        \n

        This tradition started just a few years ago in Basque culture, and it is already part of our identity. These social gatherings on Thursdays and Fridays are an essential experience if you want to practice your Basque language.<\/p>\n

        Txotx<\/h3>\n
        \n

        This is another really significant event that forms part of our cuisine: the TXOTX season. From February to April, you can taste the local cider with friends, immersed in our language and our folklore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
