Are you bold enough to learn the Basque language?
The Basque language, spoken by approximately 850,000 people on both sides of the western end of the Pyrenees, is one of the greatest treasures that the Basque people can transmit to humanity.
This language, unrelated to the other known languages of the continent, is considered to be the oldest language in Europe; but its greatest mystery is not its origin, but its survival and strength to the present day.

The whole population of Bergara is working to maintain and strengthen our language.
