Giants dancing in Iruña (Nafarroa) during 2024 Sanfermines.

Giants were born in the kingdom of Navarre in the Middle Ages, and the tradition spread south as the reconquista advanced. From the Navarrese kingdom to the crowns of Castile and Aragon, where it became an instant hit and it's still a beloved and living tradition during their festivities. Nowadays there are giants in 90 countries, many of them colonized by Spain.

Giants have a frame made of aluminum or wood, and the figure is made of papier mâché or fiberglass and then dressed; they represent local celebrities or historical personalities. The person underneath has to train to be able to walk the giant and especially spin it in balance because the giants of Iruña are about 4m. / 13.12ft tall!

La historia secreta de los kilikis de Pamplona, por Jesús Carlos Gómez Martínez

¿Qué se oculta en realidad detrás de las inmensas cabezotas de los kilikis de Pamplona?[1] Esto es lo que pretende contarnos Jesús Carlos Gómez Martínez en este libro: la verdad, toda la verdad y nada más que la verdad acerca de la auténtica personalidad de Barbas, Patata, Napoleón, Verrugas, Coletas y Caravinagre. Quizá fue la idea de que la cara es el espejo del alma la que hizo sospechar al…

Kaixo ~ I’m curious what are holidays or dates that see important to Basque people?

Kaixo anon! Thanks for your ask 😊 I guess there are more local festivities or special days for other people, but I guess these are the most general ones:

St Thomas' fair: a very important date for Basque people since today is the day when winter officially starts - some people think this fair was originally dedicated to the solstice - and also the Christmas holidays: children have their last day of school until January and it’s a day of general celebration. A very big market is set so people can buy their ingredients for the Xmas Eve dinner, and the most traditional thing to do is to eat talo- a toasted cornmeal flatbread - with chorizo or txistorra, a Basque speciality similar to the former, but thinner and juicier. Of course you have to help that food go down with cider or txakoli, our traditional white wine. It's always CROWDED:

Xmas celebrations: more or less like in any West European city tbh, but here we have two parades for the kids. The one of Olentzero (our very own xmas gifts bringer) on Xmas Eve:

and then on January 5th, the parade of the Three Wise men, that's also celebrated by more Iberian nations:

And last but certainly not least, the summer festivities in the capitals: starting with Sanfermines in early July

.. then the festivities in Baiona in mid-July...

... moving on to Maria Zuria celebrations in Gasteiz in early August...

Aste Nagusi in Donostia mid-August...

... and Aste Nagusi in Bilbo to finish the month...

For me they're the Holy Trinity of the special days for most Basque people. Of course there are more local special days and more events that gather many like regattas, 1st Monday of Gernika, Ordizia Cheese Championship, Korrika, several races, Chocolate day in Baiona, Lanterns Parade in Gasteiz, etc.

But these ones mentioned are the biggest ones.
