THE EMBLEM
Parsley is the emblem of the house. Many years before Carlos Arguiñano popularised this plant, "parsley" was the nickname by which the lineage of the hamlet became known.
Dynamic and popular men, hardworking women and transmitters of an ancient culture that includes the Basque language.
Their enormous fondness for stone dragging by oxen tests should be considered.
The father of the current family was one of the last to preserve a pair of oxen which combined the work of field and drag of stone in the amateur competitions, as an example of the linking the daily work and competition, as in other sports, such as the regatta, lifting of stones or cutting of trunks.
