The goal is the same for the Etxe Nasaia that have taken place for the last 11 years at the Basque club, but because of difficulties in getting around, children may not be able to get to the city, and so the club will go to the villages to carry out the activity. Successful in any form, the initiative gathers several hundred children who will not only enjoy a wonderful plate of chicken and rice, but will also learn about the Basque club and the Basques.
