Special thanks to: Adults and young’s, women and men, artists, the dancers “dantzaris”, the musicians, the dressmakers and a huge group of people that worked in different sections such as media, financial support, stick making for walk, stage, people organizing lunch meetings. It is quite difficult to mention all the people participating in the pastoral one by one. Besides the participants from Etxalar, we must mention people coming from different villages, such as, Baztan, Igantzi, Hondarribia, Xuberoa, Iruña and so on. We would like to gratefully thank to all the participants and especially to the writer, Gerardo Mungia and the director of the pastoral, Pantxika Urruty.
