In Luzaide/Valcarlos, culture is not just history, it is a living essence that can be felt in every house and every corner; in its traditions, which are expressed with pride and colourful joy in its dances; in the Basque language, a fundamental pillar of local identity; in its crafts, traditional cuisine, nature and the friendliness of its inhabitants.
All this together offers an authentic and participatory experience, where cultural heritage is celebrated and shared on a daily basis.
