ANTZARA JOKOA

In november, during the village party, takes place the goose game. Some young people comes with horses, and they have to quit the neck of a goose who is hanging from a cord. One of them has a sword and is the king, the others use their arms. It is an initiation ritual who was very important in Euskal Herria, but now it's only preserved in a little places: Sara, Zuraide, Oleta and  Ahetze in Iparralde, Lekeitio in Hegoalde(they use boats in part of horses).
