Without Euskal Jai Eguna, but with a lot of culture and complying with all hygiene and safety measures. So is the Euskal Astea-Basque Week of this 2020 in Zarautz. “We are in a very special situation,” says Zarautz Mayor Xabier Txurruka. For this reason, the seaside resort is immersed in a different Basque Week, maintaining its commitment to culture.
