Argazkia: Laba

They will have three main acts. The vermouth will start mid-morning in Laba, at 11:00 hours, with chocolates and music. At 14:00 they will head to the station and a menu of 26 euros will be served. In the afternoon, at 18:00 hours will be offered in Laba the show travesti Albina Stardust, followed by a painted surprise DJ. Laba is an open room and the acts are also for everyone who wants to celebrate the Lab anniversary.

But the day before, you can also start celebrating and whoever wants to do it this very Friday: at 18:30, the Agora association has organized a philosophical poet in Laba: Can you make humor about ----? Program directed by Maddi Nazabal Etxebeste.

Laba is actually an accommodation located in the Plaza del Castillo, open from Tuesday to Saturday, but it is much more than that, because it is above all a Basque cultural centre. Several initiatives have been carried out throughout the year: book presentations, films, conferences and round tables, acoustic concerts, podcast area or DJ painted in juebintxo, among others.

Partnership supported by 130 partners

Currently there are 130 partners who support the association, two workers who manage the cafeteria and are running a campaign to make more partners on the web. This is a project driven mainly by young people who mainly mobilize cultural activities, although there are also veterans working in other areas of Basque culture.

At the time of starting the project, in the Plaza del Castillo, known by the Locals as the living room of Pamplona, the members of the association talked about the importance of being a center of the Basque Country and culture, and gradually Laba is becoming one of the references of Basque culture, always together with Zaldiko Maldives and Karrikiri. It was difficult to think that a few years ago such a varied offer was going to accumulate in the heart of Pamplona.

From the point of view of the spectacularity steps are being taken, among them the purchase of the corresponding terrace, but also in this area there are difficulties with the City Council of Pamplona and with the adjacent bar that takes away space for the terrace. It is to be assumed that these problems will be solved before late, as they have also taken positive steps, so that Lava, like the rest of the accommodation of the Plaza del Castillo, will have its own terrace.
