Palma, Mallorca.  The Euskal Etxea Artea in Mallorca is making a huge effort to support its Basque classes and to respond to the interest shown by its students participating in the course.  This year, in hopes of giving them the opportunity to live in Euskera for a weekend, the club organized a barnetei that will take place on Saturday and Sunday.

The goal is to provide an immersion experience in Basque, taking the language out of the classroom and to social activities like Basque dance, classes in txalaparta, cooking and dinners at the club; a unique opportunity in the heart of Mallorca.
