I looked like this in the picture when ARGIA first offered me the opportunity. A while in the magazine. The only condition is that what is written has to do with sport if it is possible.
It doesn't always make me easy. There are sports, especially those that move a lot of money, that generate a lot of discussion without substance. Nothing but noise. The arguments are softened by deepening the interests behind them, becoming superficial and relativizing the warmth that has been put on these topics.
But sometimes the world of sport, and especially athletes, offer us moments full of magic. Few surfaces and words and actions of sweet meats. Valid.
Talk about Alberto Zerain in the programming of the Flysch Trail of Zumaia. Sebastian Álvaro, Juanjo San Sebastian, Josu Bereziartua, Joxe Ramón Agirre Brown, Johnatan García and other mountain veterans are talking about what the mountains have given them and has taken away the mountains.
Remove, among other things, fingers and toes. And, of course, the friends who have stayed there arriba.Da a lot.
They talk about life and life.
One says that he has taught him that mountains are the same as death and life, naturally, without overdramatizing the two things to take; more than eight thousand meters, when he starts to worry, unlike the camps at the bottom, the gods and the goddesses, who knows where, who says that they are living – I don’t know if it gives me the impression that in my time, but maybe you remember the religions! Forced by bad weather, unable to leave the store for days – and nights –, the importance of the smallest detail, the help that helps you to look in the face of life, and therefore death... The wise teacher said that with few elements whoever knows how to complete the universe, that is, the understanding of life, will be able to look in the void.
The veteran has told you about when he realized that we were at least in cosmic dust, seeing the summit so far away, impossible, and being aware of our smallness. They say it speaks silence.
Every word rubbed by experience with sense oil produces in my brain a spark that would scare the most skilled neuroscience.
The moon surprises us on the beach of Itzurun. The talk has been over for a long time, but the conversation issues and the desire to be with friends, no.
They have stopped talking about death and more important things have emerged. The SOS Himalaya Elkartea Association in the Valley of Nepal has denounced that they need help in order to get a hospital up.

ARGIAk ez du zertan bat etorri artikuluen edukiarekin. Idatzien gehienezko luzera 4.500 karakterekoa da (espazioak barne). Idazkera aldetik gutxieneko zuzentasun bat beharrezkoa da: batetik, ARGIAk ezin du hartu zuzenketa sakona egiteko lanik; bestetik, egitekotan edukia nahi gabe aldatzeko arriskua dago. ARGIAk azaleko zuzenketak edo moldaketak egingo dizkie artikuluei, behar izanez gero.
One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]
The region of Merida (Mexico) has been the object of this year of great controversy for the placement on a beach of a sculpture in tribute to the Greek god Poseidon. Merida is located on the Yukatan peninsula, where the people of Maia try to preserve their culture, within the... [+]
My cycles start in September and end in June, actually, (I was going to wear myself, but every time I use the plural a dwarf yells at me in my head, “they will be yours!”), and so it has been in my life, whether there is vacation, whether or not I have paid work on schedule... [+]
In summer, we retirees don't tend to be hungry for vacations, and we can calmly analyze everything around us. Here are some issues that surprised me.
Spain. The Euro Cup and the Olympic Games are all over the summer. I have to say beforehand that professional sport... [+]
With the Zabalduz caravan in the city of Bihac in Bosnia Herzegovina, activist Nihad Suljic explained to us that the Drina River is the largest tomb in the Balkans. In order not to be forgotten, he is responsible for identifying the bodies that are found and for giving them... [+]
I don't know if we're hit by heat waves anymore, if it's a normal hypocrisy or a systemic logic, but the gap between what we know, what we say and what we do, beyond concern, surprises me, especially in a summer environment. News, research, social media interactions… constitute a... [+]
Among many falls, there are also achievements. A young mother of about 35 years old asked me the other day how they could get in their school that the classmates who had not received Euskera at home learn and speak as well as the boys and girls who were Euskaldunes at home. In... [+]
The current situation requires a thorough analysis of what is behind titles, demonstrations, the manipulated dissemination of some facts, the dark concealment of others and the disguised propaganda of analysis in most mainstream media. The situation requires that superficial... [+]
Entrepreneurs and policy makers in the sector tell us that tourism generates wealth and jobs, but what is tourism work? What kind of work does tourism generate? And who wins with that?
The entity San Sebastian Turismo says that over 15,000 people work in the sector in San... [+]
The main feature of my basketball team is its personality. It is usually said that this is a common characteristic between the team and the hobby. However, this identity of all amateurs is not taken into account from the management. In fact, Euskaldunes fans see again and again... [+]
Train stations in many cities show the highest beauty of the 19th century iron structure, along with the rise of arrival at the epicenter of the city. It's like entering the city through the front door, a pearl of architecture and place. However, in many cities, in the phenomena... [+]
Why not leave it. He who writes the columns always follows the apologies of withdrawal in time. Before stocks are exhausted. The issues, to me, I have not been able to exhaust them, because I am not an expert in anything, and I have never had messages to convey to Euskal Herria... [+]
Start of the summer. EHZ festival hangover (atx, headache). You want to breathe after a charged course. Flush the head. Reconnect key elements. Take some time with family, see old friends again and rest (a little) in the daily struggle. Really? !...
As a family, walk to the... [+]
