Welcome to the homepage of
New Mexico Euskal Etxea!
We are a group dedicated to celebrating the Basque culture in New Mexico. Our focus is to educate our members and the greater public about both the history of the Basque people and the dynamic place that is the Basque Country today. We include people whose ancestors came from the Basque Country with the Conquistadors and with the sheep-herding industry to those who just have an interest in Basque culture and cuisine. All are welcome to join us in our celebrations of all things Basque!

To learn more about our club, please see our brochure. It can be found both as a webpage and as a PDF document.

Euskara lesson: Aug 25

August 25, 2011

Probably the key identifying feature of the Basques is their language. It is what truly sets them apart. Taking some cues from other clubs, in particular Seattle and San Francisco, we would like to incorporate more Euskara into our activities. To this end, we will be providing basic language lessons.

The first language lesson will be on Aug 25. Put together by Blas and Karen, it will feature rudimentary vocabulary – words to get you by during your first trip to the Basque Country. If the interest holds, we will hold additional classes that delve a bit more into Euskara, at least as far as the knowledge of the instructors allows. Please contact nmee@buber.net if you are interested in participating.

The time and location will be announced soon!
