    A place that exudes the passion for Basque pelota. Unique place for the manufacture and repair of balls and chistera. The welcome from Jon and Patxi is warm and welcoming. Regardless of being players, they know the history of this game perfectly. Handmade made in the Basque Country

    Grand Chistera session with Patxi in solo class. The formula is 110€, but what a treat. Patxi is very caring and corrects your faults. After an hour of training, we really enjoy returning the ball forehand and backhand! Topissime
