As our readers well know, the activity of the Basques of the diaspora is something that we consider of extremely great interest, and should be shared more among the Basques at home. Ā Thatās why we never tire of recommending the website Euskal Kultura, which collects information about what our brethren around the world are up to.
Today, weāre bringing you a news item published just hours ago. Ā The Plazoleta de los Vascos, or Small Plaza of the Basques, just opened in Tres Arroyos, in Buenos Aires province in Argentina. Ā The creation of this public space has a lot to do with the Euskaletxea Hiru Erreka – Tres Arroyos. Ā Itās an extremely active Basque house, sharing and spreading the world about everything Basque, aimed not only at the descendents of Basques or those with ties to the Basques, but also to the whole of the society itās located in.
This opening is the final step in a series of events that have made this Argentine town a place to find some of the most significant elements to represent the Land of the Basques around the world, like the colors of the ikurriƱa adorning the paths in the plaza; a reproduction of Picassoās Guernica, which was revealed not too long ago, to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the massacre; and the monument which reproduces the profile of our nation and which, with a weight of one ton, is going to be the center of this space that, by the way, came about thanks to the āparticipative budgetā from the Basque Government.
Weāll leave you with the information weāve found about the opening, and other info weāve found about the creation of the plaza.
The plaza can already be found on Google Maps, with some photos of the area and its construction.
