The Basque Country and

Agurain

I have been swimming for

3 years, but this year, I´m

no swimming too much.

We used to be 10 people,

and we used to go twice a

week. The swimming-

pools are near the Sports

Center, where people go

there to swim after playing

football or doing another

sport.

Agurain is in the Basque Country

and it is very beautiful. We have

some rivers like Zadorra that

joins the Ebro, and there are ex-

cellent valleys. There are a lot of

small villages around our town.

This village has got 4,600 inhabi-

tants but all of them weren’t

born here. In Agurain the majori-

ty of people speak Spanish but a

lot of people speak Basque, too.

AGURAIN THE BASQUE COUNTRY

Agurain is situated in the Basque

Country. In the flag of the Basque

Country there are three main colours:

white, red and green. The symbol is

like a star because the colours make

a cross. The language of the Basque

Country is Basque but the majority of

people speak Spanish. The capital

city is Gasteiz but Bilbo is the biggest

city.

MY FAVOURITE SPORT ACTIVITY

I have been doing gymnastics since

2002 but when I was seven I started

doing athletics. I began doing gym-

nastics again because athletics was

very boring Two years later, I started

swimming with my friends and we

were the best swimming team. Then I

was bored with swimming, and I deci-

ded to study more.

SPORT FACILITIES IN MY VILLAGE

In Agurain and in the Basque

Country in general, some people

play a tradicional sport called

Basque pelote but this doesn´t

mean that we don´t play many

other sports like basketball or

football. There are two big foot-

ball pitches and near them, there

is a Sports Center where people

practrise basketball, football and

handball there.
