El Hoyo is located in Patagonia, Argentina, in the mountains, a few kilometers from the Chilean border. The town has six hundred inhabitants and its principal activity is cultivating artisan fruits. When Nuria Vilalta, a native from the Basque Country, settled there, she never imagined that she would become a Basque teacher in the town, but that is what happened. As she says, her arrival did not go unnoticed and soon after getting settled in, some who were interested in learning Basque approached her. The Euskera and culture get-togethers began in June. “I now have seven students but every week another curious person appears wanting to participate,” Nuria explained to EuskalKultura.com.
