Until March the kaskarots will walk the streets of Lapurdi
  • Two weekends ago the first kaskarots emerged: De Beskoiz. And until March, every Saturday and Sunday will go through every corner of the town dancing from house to house and dancing at the party. The kaskarotas of Beskoitz are the busiest and most outgoing, but not the only ones. They have also announced their home departures from other localities in Lapurdi. At the time of collection we collected those from Uztaritze, Itsasu, San Juan de Luz, Kanbo and Biriatu.

These are groups of young people who, during the Carnival, make rounds in Lapurdi. It's usually an inner party, many times they spend hours inside the houses eating, singing and singing, but if along the way they touch in front, you're lucky. They move to the melody and rhythm of the marches from one side to the other and in the stops dance different dances, among others, Ximple, Marmutsch, Makila-txiki, Makila-handi, Jauziak, Fandango... Ponpier and Kotilungorri are also part of the group, bearers and reds sometimes, and in some places and times the Bear has also appeared.
