Larraitz will take the 21st of Aralar Larreen on May 1. The Opening Party

  • The Opening Party of Aralar Larré will be held for the 21st time in the Larraitz district of Abalescu, on May 1st, next Tuesday. This year almost 19,000 heads will be grazed, of which about 17,000 will be sheep, a thousand cows and more than 700 mare. “The number of cows is increasing and something is decreasing the number of sheep,” explains Joxe Antonio Irastortza, forest ranger at the Enirio-Aralar Community.

Regarding the situation of the pastures, Irastoria explains, “I have been working in this field for 32 years and I have not seen the grass grow so late.” He adds that the heat of the last few days has resolved the situation quite a bit: “In some cozy areas and close to the cabins, food has started in these places.” Then the forest ranger says that you have to take into account how the summer goes: “The previous three years have been very good, during the summer there has been a lot of rain and that is very valuable in these places.”

As for the Opening Feast of Pasture, Irastortza recalls how the day began to be celebrated: “The thing that gave us enough work was to get the mountain to rest for about three months, and to celebrate and make sense of it was to start organizing the day.” The party lasts throughout the day, but in the morning the biggest movement takes place, which includes several stalls. Food retailers are making more and more orders. On the other hand, various handicraft products will be on sale. As a novelty, a craftsman will be making hats.

The event will be held in the same way as last year. Representatives of the institutions will also participate in the event, which aims to highlight the conservation of pastures. There will also be a tribute to a rancher, and then it will be a symbolic moment, transferring the Key of the Barrier and opening the barrier.

After the event, the popular sports program will generate expectation with the meeting of the two hatchlords who recently took part in the bet in the Plaza de Toros in Tolosa: Iker Vicente and Arria V. “They also like to win for sure in these types of shows and they will make an effort to achieve it and give a show in this work,” said Irastortza. There will also be bertsolaris Mikel Mendizabal and Bixente Gorostidi, who will probably sing among the tasks performed by the axes. On the other hand, the singer Joxe Ignazio Barberia will also offer the program.

For the afternoon there will be a pilgrimage by the hand of the Trikitixa of Larraiz with the trikitileros Jesús Mujika and Aitzol. Even in the afternoon there will still be some stalls, especially those coming from further afield.
