Description

In Gernika (Gernika-Lumo), the fronton that houses the Cesta Punta School is the setting for the Jai Alai Experience — an active tourism offer that brings visitors face to face with the most internationally recognised Basque sport. The full demonstration lasts ninety minutes and includes an introduction to the history and rules of the game, a guided tour of the fronton itself, a live match featuring professional players, and a practice session on court. Demonstrations are available for groups of all ages and are led by Diego Beaskoetxea, world champion in Cesta Punta and a professional with more than two decades at the highest level. For travellers exploring the Basque Country through its sporting and cultural heritage, this stop in Gernika offers a direct, hands-on encounter with one of the most distinctive expressions of Basque culture — far beyond simple observation.
