Do you actually know the definition of Zirtzil?

Since the 2000s, villages in the Basque Country have been reclaiming previously forgotten festive traditions.

Thus, Santibate and Libertimendua are two carnival celebrations in Lower Navarre and Labourd (two Basque provinces). The first celebrates winter, while the second announces the arrival of spring.

Libertimendua is a daytime celebration of dance and pamphleteering theatre.

Santibate is, for its part, a nocturnal procession of characters, called zirtzil, masked or made up, wearing torn and disheveled clothes. Rather frightening, they dance and sing along their route through the streets, knocking on the doors of houses and bars. They are accompanied by improvising poets and musicians.

In the Basque Country, it's well known that we party all year round and we love legends and wacky characters !
