    • Come and discover the emblematic sport of the Basque country!

      Nicolas, elite bare-hand champion and sports instructor, will introduce you to the three most well-known specialities of Basque pelota :

      • The bare hand
      • The pala
      • The chistera


      He will start by explaining the different specialties as well as the design of the equipment used (chistera, balls, etc.). After seeing the rules of the game, you will be immersed in the skin of a pelotari with workshops and fun games. All this in joy and good humor. Nicolas will show you exceptional and atypical trinquets (place where pelota is played indoors).

    Very interesting! The instructor (I've forgotten his name...) was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot! And thank you to the two players! (P. Valla's group of 18)

    Thanks to Nicolas for this introduction to Basque pelota (bare-handed - pala - Cesta Punta) in the legendary Jai Alai Plaza Berri. A skilled instructor, always smiling and cheerful, Nicolas quickly put us at ease. An hour and a half of pure fun with friends. If you want to discover a little piece of Basque culture off the beaten path, don't hesitate, go with Nicolas!

    Absolutely fantastic!!! Excellent communication to prepare for our introductory session to pelota, pala, and chistera... Nicolas is very professional, friendly, and a great teacher. We were a group of six and we had a blast at PLAZA BERRI!! A huge thank you for this unmissable activity.
