Oñati is a Basque speaking town. 78% of Oñatiarras speak Euskera, another 8% understand it. You’ll see that Euskera is present in all areas of life, be they social, economic, administrative, cultural or sporting.
Do you dare?
The Basque language, Euskera is spoken by around 850,000 people on both sides of the eastern end of the Pyrenees.
One of the greatest treasures that the Basques have given humanity is without doubt Euskera. It is a language which has no known direct relation on the European continent, which leads us to believe that it could be the oldest language in Europe. But the biggest mystery about Euskera is not its origins but the fact that it has survived to the present day.
We’ll be so pleased!
