Durangoko Azokan Bizi Baratzearen postuan egongo diren egileak, elkarrekin eta bakoitza bere argitalpena eskuan. Ezkerretik eskuinera: Jakoba Errekondo, Marc Badal, Miguel Arribas "Kelo, Garbiñe Larrea eta Josebe Blanco. Dani Blanco / ARGIA-CC-BY-SA

Quiet, it is easy to find us at the hour: look up between the crowd and see the position of the cane on the roof at a distance. And, like literature, we are convinced that sustainable agriculture and seeds are also an important cultural heritage for us. Therefore, along with the books, you will also fill the bag with the lettuces of the Alkartasuna cooperative and the seeds of the Aleka association. Of course, Durango's is also an unbeatable opportunity to have direct contact with writers and writers.

New Seeds and Cosmetics

You know that Marc Badal and Miguel Arribas Kelo have just published the book Haziak. The guide, written by members of the association Aleka and Haziera, has been produced with magnificent macro photos that Dani Blanco has made to the seeds.

Garbiñe Larrea published his third book this year: Cosmetics with medicinal plants. Soap and gels, toothpaste, shampoo, creams, ointments, balms, deodorants… Larrea’s latest work is a guide to learn how to do these and other things, “a book to remove 100 toxic substances from your life.”

To complete this year’s harvest, and like every year, you will also have at your disposal the Ilargia and Emakumeak 2025 agenda, published by Jakoba Errekondo and Antton Olariaga. And anyone who wants to buy the 2025 Lunar Calendar, like every year, will have the opportunity to do so.

But in addition to the novelties, we will also bring to Durango the works of previous years: In the Ruminate of Josebe Blanco, the Vital Orchard and the Homemade Plants of Jakoba Errekondo, the Sendabelar garden of Garbiñe Larrea and what Sendabelar knows... For you or for gifts, a wide range.

Face-to-face relationship with authors

The authors of the books will also be at the Durango post signing their papers. The signature is an excuse for a face-to-face relationship with writers. The fair offers the opportunity to ask the authors questions, make proposals or simply have an interview with them.

Jakoba Errekondo and Garbiñe Larrea will be on the job every day; Kelo Arribas on Friday and Saturday; Marc Badal on Friday and Josebe Blanco on Saturday.

If you like the earth and plants, then bring it closer to the position of Bizi Baratze.
