On the left wall of the pediment will be placed the tablate of the final on December 18. Eight bertsolaris have talked about the path they have had to walk in the championship to reach the stage and the mood that lead to the end from the couch of the room by the court:

D. Mendiluze points out that he entered the championship "responsibly" and that he felt "comfortable or well placed". Alaia Martín has linked the road so far with the word "enjoy", both in the preparation and in the listening and singing of the bertsolaris, and has expressed his "illusion, gratitude and desire to say" towards the end.

Amets Arzallus has said that singing in semifinals is "like crossing the mountain ranges" and that at the end of this journey has reached the end "with humor and breathing". Beñat Gaztelumendi is delighted with his work, as he has "approached" what he wanted to do in verse, and has shown himself "with enthusiasm" for the end, on the one hand, because "it is not easy to reach the end" and on the other, because he is among those bertsolaris that form the end of this year.

Joanes Illarregi has confessed that he has lived from the "sweet and savory" in the championship and that at the same time he feels "responsibility and confidence" for the final, "as a team, to give what he asks the coming crowd." Maialen Lujanbio has expressed his "joy and great luck", "for the possibility of singing here and with this group". Because he stressed that "the end of this year has strong political significance": It points out the meaning of being in Pamplona "from the point of view of culture", that the group of bertsolaris "represents the chain of generations of young people and adults" and that singing for the first time three women is significant "not only for women".

Nerea Ibarzabal adds it: "I've learned a lot in these three sessions, I've felt warm and nice on the stage." Subai Colina has affirmed that the "fate is sometimes greedy" and that the championship has led him through his life trajectory, as his first performance in Irun, "in a building perfectly visible from the house of my grandparents", then sang in Baiona and the final "will end in the city where I live now". He hopes Sunday will be "emotional and artistic explosion."

What path is each opening in the bertsos?

The championship is also a place of rehearsal and innovation in the Bertsolaris style and the Bertsolaris have explained what each of them has put their forces on, although all the Bertsolaris have stressed that the intention is one thing and the other comes out at the moment and in the situation. In the words of Amets Arzallus: "If you have an abstract draft of what you want to do, but bringing this to words is not easy. And in the end you must play with the cards that touched you."

As Aitor Mendiluze explained, "I have tried to reflect the bertso I have done over all these years. I have been concerned. This year, being on the table, I've been more owner than ever, I've enjoyed it. Also in the end I'd like to show you a way to be on the board."

In the words of Alaia Martín, "I want to accommodate the issues that shake me, and not those who flee." It indicates that it tries to give "color" to themes and characters, "giving an atmosphere and precision". It tries to make the verse "whenever possible" have "color and life" from the first point to the last, instead of accumulating forces only at the end, "so that the verse is a path".

Amets Arzallus has put strength in the language: "The verse is part of the basis of language. I try to get wet and immersed in that well of language, in a continuous search for language." It tries to get a "mindset as recycled as possible" from language, "to respond to my feelings and the moment people live."

Beñat Gaztelumendi followed this last snout: "We sing from where we are at every moment. But location is not exclusive to oneself, it also influences the position of others. The last few years have been sad for others, and I think it is time to convey strength and positivity." He explains that he tries to use an earthly and concrete language and that in the end he aims: "Don't limit me."

Joanes Illarregi explains that his strength is to have a "pleasurable attitude" in a "very serious" and "professional" tournament, and that in the end I would also like to achieve it.

Maialen Lujanbio puts the value on the road: "Each ending occurs at a given time and place and bertsolari wants to respond to it in an artistic way. This crossing hits each other differently. But it is always a continuation of a path, although one can take the step in one direction or just the opposite. The journey gives you an ever-thinning slice to fine-tune your mind. But it's always the distillation of a pathway."

Nerea Ibarzabal talks about inclusion in characters: "I try to connect with the character that touched me, move in the ranges of feelings and emotions that are known to me, because that's how words come to me more easily." He explains that he has grown up listening to the veterans who will be part of the final, who has learned and enjoyed them, and that from these experiences "the end brings aesthetic canons to his head", but at the same time he feels "courage" to sing in another way as part of another generation.

Subai Colina has tried to "rescue what I like from the plaza" and, at the same time, "to dress with resources that are more unknown to me. And with attitude, more enthusiasm and courage in the sessions."

And you, listener? Do you have everything ready for Sunday?

Gontzal Agote and Oier Iurramendi, members of the Bertsozale Elkartea Association, explain that at 9:00 the doors of Nafarroa Arena will open and tomorrow’s session will be from 11:00 to 14:30. In the afternoon, the doors of the bertso aretoa will open at 16:00 and the most intense part of the session will last between 17:00 and 20:30 hours.

During the meal all viewers will go outside and have two options: A lunch will be served at the UPNA sports facilities for card holders (there is still the possibility to do so here) and at the Sadar Stadium you can taste the one who has taken home. No sharp objects (not large umbrellas), crystals, cans, alcohol may be introduced. He who takes him for food must keep them in the slogan to be placed at the Sadar stadium (the slogan will be open from 8:00 to 11:30) and will pick them up at the end of the morning session. In the afternoon there will be no slogan service.

If you go to the end, it will be useful to read these organizational notes.
