as for the beret, you might be pleased to know that in German it's called Baskenmütze, keeping it's Basque origin it is associated with French chicness, but not exclusively, also with working class fashion and Basque Country

Kaixo anon!

I'm very pleased to know indeed! It's awesome that in German-speaking countries people are aware of its working class origin!

Itzulia Women begins tomorrow, and will race three stages over beautiful Basque Country! The climbs will be steep in this mountain-climber's classic.

Last year Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) won the right to wear the txapela (the winner's basque beret). Reusser was perhaps an unexpected winner for a climbing-heavy stage race, particularly after Vollering won stages 1 and 2. But Reusser launched a breakaway on the final stage and moved into first on GC. It seemed fitting for all the work she did for teammate Demi Vollering earlier in the season. Vollering took second, with Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) third.

In 2022, Vollering herself took the top podium place, with Pauliena Rooijakkers (then Canyon-SRAM, now Liv Racing TeqFind) and Kristen Faulkner (then Bike Exchange-Jayco, now EF Education-Cannondale) in second and third, respectively.

Who will wear the txapela/basque beret this year?

Hoy le toca a los vascos de la Sociedad Deportiva Erandio Club, entidad fundada en 1915 en la homónima ciudad vizcaína. Los blanquiazules son un clásico club de categorías regionales pero en su dilatada trayectoria llegaron a estar dos temporadas en la Segunda División y otras cuatro en la Segunda B.

Tienen por mascota a "Kai", que viene del euskera "kaio", "gaviota", un alado que lleva una txapela y viste la camiseta titular del club.

La piratería vasca o cómo llevar doble vida debajo de una txapela

[beautiful-basque-country]

I remember this happening in movie Incognito: our protagonist travels to Donostia in 1997:

Notice the wife coming home with the donkey and the car that has a plate from Alicante. Later on they buy a new car:

Plate from Málaga.

Here's the family. Hey at least one of them wears a txapela. And a funny thing happens in this scene: in the original version, the old man calls his wife Juanita; in the Spanish dubbed version, he says Idoia, which given that everything is so unrealistically Basque throwing in an actual Basque name is almost insulting.

But you have seen nothing yet. The main character sends a letter to the family:

It reads: Juan del Campo, The Shit farm, Perdita coast [almost sure they went for Costa Perdida, Lost Coast - that is also an imaginary place, but at least the name would have made sense in Spanish -, but you know, USAmericans problem with T and D], Spain.

Not sure if the person in charge of the props trolled the production or if they made it on purpose as a joke, but it was so infuriating when I first watched: they made me remember this overall entertaining movie as the one of La Granja Mierda, Donostia.

They ruined it completely.

Benito Lertxundi – Altabizkar e Itzaltzuko Bardoari

Benito Lertxundi – Altabizkar e Itzaltzuko Bardoari

Spain, 1981, Basque folk / euskal kantagintza berria This is simply a beautiful album, quite straightforward and satisfying in its neo-Medieval instrumentation, including the txapela, dulcimer, and cromorno. The first track is a 20-minute eight-stanza epic about the Battle of Orreaga in 778 AD, told from the perspective of the Basque people. For all the bloody imagery in the lyrics, this music…

Ridiculous xenophobic people being ridiculous.

Arbasoen Mendekua [The revenge of the ancestors] is a splinter far-right group from EH. They're like Basque-nationalist far right? Or something. They're ultra minoritary and almost unknown for the average Basque, but I've come across this poster on the internet and and to share.

use of pre-standard spelling✅

txapela and unibrow (monolithic Basque man, I guess)✅

lack of imagination so they had to reuse the Uncle Sam poster once and again✅

it says "Euskadi needs you". The sentence follows: to have Basque kids to face the immigrant invasion.✅

So beware if you ever see something related to Arbasoen Mendekua, they're nazis dressed in Basque folk clothes.

Ok but I’m tripping balls over this.

The accuracy of the weather. The txapela on his head. Adler speaking not Spanish? But EUSKERA?! Brilliant 😭

Lyne Renée’s accent is a little off no doubt, but hey, kudos for incorporating into your show the language isolate of the Basque people and not calling it “Spain”. The respect, the beauty.

I’m always impressed when they get things kinda right in shows? They did their research and for once I’m grateful.

Magnificent!

GUILLEMELGAT’S CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD | Euskal Herria (Basque Country)

Vendors at the Santo Tomas Fair in Donostia (source). On December 21, many Basque towns and cities host a winter market, celebrating local farmers. Donostia hosts one of the largest ones, with lots of different vendors selling both raw and prepared products.

A family in traditional Basque clothing at the Santo Tomas Fair in Donostia (source). For the fair, it’s common for people to dress in the traditional Basque clothing: abarka shoes; long skirts and a kerchief over the head for women; and a txapela hat and kerchief around the neck for men.

A plate of txistorra sausage at the Santo Tomas Fair in Irun (source). The most common treat at the Santo Tomas Fair is txistorra, a type of sausage which is often eaten wrapped up in a talo, which is similar to the Central American tortilla.

Two servings of intxaur-saltsa, a typical Basque Christmas dessert (source). Made from walnuts, this sweet has a creamy texture and is traditional on Christmas Eve.

A model Olentzero (source). Olentzero is often called the Basque Santa Claus; however, he is a bit different. Originally said to be one of the giants of the Pyrenees and a frightening figure, over the centuries, Olentzero evolved into a kind and generous gift-giver. His current origin story is as a charcoal-burner and wood-carver who sacrificed his life to save children from a burning house. Because of this deed, he was granted eternal life in order to keep making gifts for children. Olentzero parades through many towns at Christmastime and is a beloved figure for Basque people, having survived and come out strong on the other side of Francoist repression.

Txoronpio collects letters to Olentzero in a town in the Debagoiena region (source). Olentzero has two helpers called Txoronpio and Txoronpia, who walk around with sacks and collect letters from children to deliver to him. They are depicted by people on stilts with painted faces and dressed in traditional clothing.

The creche in the life-sized Nativity scene at Florida Park in Gasteiz (source). Every year in Gasteiz, life-sized statues fill Florida Park, creating a Nativity scene that takes up a section of the park and includes over 200 figures. Nativity scenes on a smaller scale are also common across the Basque Country and surrounding areas.

The Three Kings arrive in Donostia (source). The Spanish tradition is to give gifts on January 6, with the Three Kings leaving them in children’s shoes on the night of January 5. While Olentzero gives gifts on Christmas, children in the southern part of the Basque Country often also participate in Three Kings’ Day and get double the presents! There are also parades for the Three Kings, similar to Olentzero.

A traditional roscón de reyes (source). Another shared tradition with Spain in the southern Basque Country is making roscón de reyes, a sweet cake to be eaten on January 6. The tradition goes that however finds a certain object hidden in the cake gets to wear the crown and be king for the day—similar to other Christmas sweet traditions across Europe, such as English Christmas pudding.
