We feature today an article by Miren Perez Eguireun, published originally in Spanish at the Conde Nast "Traveler" magazine: "Idaho, situated in the northwestern interior of the United States and one of the least known states of the union, has a dynamic and thriving Basque community. So proud of their origins, every five years they organize a grand festival attracting Basques around the world at this sort of mecca of Basque pride. It was so influential that in 2002 the Idaho Parliament was, induced by Basque lobbying, involved in a diplomatic incident with the Spanish Embassy in the United States and then National Security Adviser to the White House Condoleezza Rice had to intervene. Welcome! Or perhaps more appropriately, ongi etorri!"
