Zarautz's Aste Nagusia has once again filled the La Dama stage on the promenade with music, featuring performances by numerous artists.

Zarautz celebrated its Aste Nagusia, now in its tenth year, with its main attraction: free concerts at the La Dama stage by the malecón. Throughout the past week, from Monday to Saturday, a total of six concerts were enjoyed, featuring eight bands performing to an enthusiastic and large audience.
The opening of the Aste Nagusia was organized with the collaboration of Gaztea Irratia. The main draw was the Navarrese soloist Olaia Inziarte, alongside San Sebastián's Zeatikez and the group chosen from over 70 applicants, Ramona's First Evil Boyfriend.
On Tuesday, the level was raised by Neomak, a quartet blending Basque folklore and electronic music since 2021. On Wednesday, the popular Basque band Janus Lester, led by Jokin Pinatxo, delivered a great musical spectacle.
On Thursday, Seguridad Social performed a high-energy concert, fulfilling the expectation of a nationally recognized band, which pleased everyone. On Friday, the regular performers Puro Relajo once again filled La Dama, getting hundreds of attendees dancing.
To conclude, Leire Martinez, former vocalist of La Oreja de Van Gogh, performed a successful solo concert, marking a return to this stage.
