In Urdazubi, on the northern shore of Navarre, the second quarter of the final of the 2019 Bertsolaris Championship. About 130 people have gathered at the town's House of Culture. Before them have appeared Julio Soto, Saioa Alkaiza, Iker Gorosterrazu, Iban Garro, Irati Majuelo and Sahats Alemán. Ainhoa Larretxea has been in charge of putting the issues on the bertsolaris. In the category of judges, Arkaitz Goikoetxea, Amaia Telletxea and Joseba Beltza participated. The Navarre Association of Bertsozales has been assisted by the City Council of Urdax for the organisation of the session. Yesterday (9 February) in Tudela and today (10 February) in Urdazubi/Urdax, from the tip to the tip of Navarra, the Navarra Association of Bertsozale Elkartea wanted to deepen its commitment to extending the Bertsolaris Championship – and through it, the Basque Country – to the whole territory.

Julio Soto has added the most points after the qualifying session (265), so it has been ranked for the semi-final to be held on 9 March in Etxarri Aranatz. After him, Iker Gorosterrazu, Saioa Alkaiza, Iban Garro, Irati Majuelo and Sahats Aleman have been classified. The five bertsolaris should wait for the score of the other quarter finals to see if they are sorted for the next phase. In total, there will be 18 bertsolaris who will participate in this edition, starting at 24 this time.
