We continue to receive images from the San Fermin festivities organized in various Basque clubs in the Diaspora, with celebrations of all kinds – some including an encierro – but all including the desire to have a good time. In Caracas, for example, the Eusko Etxea gathered several members to enjoy the day with the undeniable attraction of bulls and the encierro that some brave folks were encouraged to run. From Mexico, images of a carnival-like party, with great atmosphere, and also in London, England and Syddey, Australia the celebration was remarkable. Images to follow.

Virtually unknown in Nevada, until a few years ago, Basque-American, Adam Laxalt entered into his political career with much media attention and with a number of leading Republican supporters. His last name, Laxalt, is part of the political and literary history of Nevada: his grandfather, Paul Laxalt, governor of the state and senator was known as President Reagan’s “best friend,” while his great uncle, Robert Laxalt, told the best-selling story Sweet Promised Land, the story of his father, Dominique, a sheepherder from Zuberoa and his dream of returning to the Basque Country before dying. Adam Laxalt was at the Elko Basque Festival and participated in the parade, during his campaign for Nevada’s Attorney General.

“I look at it as a source of pride. It doesn’t make me any better, but (having a Saint in my family) makes me proud to have a name and an origin. It’s like being Basque,” Ben Berriotxoa told Euskalkultura.com. The Basque province of Bizkaia celebrated last July 4th the festivity of Saint Valentine Berriochoa, born in 1827 in Elorrio (Bizkaia). It was also celebrated at the Basque festival in Elko, Nevada.
