Very interesting! So Navarre is slowly turning her eyes toward San Sebastien. Navarre never knew which way to go–Madrid or Aquitaine.
it is a beautiful province!!
My father would go dove hunting in Soule. I wonder if they still perform the Marcarade? I never new the symbolism of the Zamalzain–the man-horse. I went to Cuba few years ago on a tour –during a presentation of various events, during the carnival of Santiago de Cuba, there is Zamalzain.

I haven’t spent much time in Nafarroa, just a few visits, once for San Fermins. I don’t know much about what fiestas still go on, but it seems that they are trying hard to keep old traditions alive so I expect some of those are still going on. I’ve seen the Zamalzain performed in the United States — at Jaialdi. It is pretty cool to watch!
