Tour of the Bertso Eguna through selected actions

On the web Bertsoa.eus you can see some of the most special moments of the Bertso Eguna of the five decades. It explains the evolution of the Bertso Eguna in all the years:

It was first held on 21 January 1968 in San Sebastian. It was called Bertsolarien Eguna and was one of the "most important dates of the year" of Bertsolarism, as they did not organize championships in 13 years. That day a bertsolari was honored every year. The first to pay tribute to Manuel Olaizola "Uztapide" was the journalist Fernando Aire "Xalbador". In the morning they held a bertsos session, then ate the food and after eating it was voted who would be the honoree of the following year. Over the years, they also became part of the list of Bertsolaris, Gaiteros and social workers.

In 1995, they stopped paying tribute and changed their format: The thread was the anniversary of bertsolari Udarrangi. They spent the acting in the afternoon, and then they did the dinner.
