The San Prudentzio festivities, organized by the Rakatapla group, successfully began yesterday with children's activities and the traditional distribution of snails, with the retreta and tamborrada scheduled for tonight.

The San Prudentzio festivities commenced yesterday, led by the Rakatapla group. In the Herriko plaza, inflatable games and activities were set up for children, and at noon, the traditional snail casseroles were distributed, drawing long queues of residents. Following this, members of the Akelarre group presented a display of Basque dances.
However, Rakatapla's main event will take place tonight. The retreta will begin at ten o'clock, and two hours later, participants will gather in the Herriko plaza to raise the town hall's ikurriña to the sound of drums.
