The eight quotes this year
- The fairs and initiatives that take books and records in Basque to the street are eight throughout the Basque Country. Little and little, perhaps. But especially, the majority that have emerged for six years and networked since last year. The date of each of the 2024 markets and initiatives is jointly presented.
Anyone who has the pleasure of reading and listening to music in Basque can enjoy if this year he turns around these eight places. On this curious journey from January to December in four territories, you will find fairs and initiatives specialized in age and creativity genres, as well as for the general public. The Lazkao fair is the longest of the experiences, as the 35th edition was held last December. The week of the Basque black novel (H)ilbeltza turns 10. And the others are created since then, with the will to consolidate each year, to become a famous quote in the Basque Country. Since 2023 they have joined the Doinuele network and since the first year they have felt the most pleasurable path thanks to mutual knowledge of experiences, the exchange of information and the sum of forces.
