"Javi Escudero and Asun Zuloaga, surrounded by books, created an oasis in the heart of the Casco Viejo de Bilbao", according to the organizers of Loraldia. The Verdes bookstore became an inescapable meeting point for the Basque bodybuilders: from there the forbidden textbooks were separated from the first ikastolas, Bernardo Atxaga and Gabriel Aresti also had their first contacts in this bookstore and the writer of Asteasu visited several times with Joseba Sarrionandia, Ruper Ordoristi, Jon Juitariilla.

In the tribute to Loraldia, a number of friends from the Green bookstore will be quoted. The organizers of Loraldia have said that "we Euskaltzales are indebted to Euskaltzaindia and we must thank them for everything they have given us".

The act has been organized under the premise of an idea by Bernardo Atxaga. "It will be a simple and emotional act," the organizers said. "Writers, musicians and men and women of culture will participate, sometimes through songs and others through reading texts." Bernardo Atxaga, Natxo De Felipe, Ruper Ordorika, Juan Carlos Perez, Miren Agur Meabe, Joseba Sarrionandia and Patxo Telleria are among the participants.
