The Gurea municipal fronton in Berriz celebrated its first anniversary last Friday with a festival that combined bertsolaris and pelota. The event drew a large crowd of fans to the court.
In the bertsolari segment, Beñat Gaztelumendi and Iker Zubeldia performed. Gaztelumendi served as the second for the red team, while Zubeldia supported the blue team.
Pelota players also competed. In the women's match, Goiuri Zabaleta and Itxaso Erasun (blue) defeated Laia Salsamendi and Nora Mendizabal (red) with a score of 22-14. In the men's game, Iker Urmeneta and Alex Juaristi (red) won 22-20 against Mikel Goñi and Jon Erasun (blue). These results earned each bertsolari one point.
During the breaks, Gaztelumendi and Zubeldia offered advice to the players and engaged with the audience. Gaztelumendi concluded the event by urging citizens to gather in "the spaces that make us a community".
