The interior Gipuzkoan town of Zegama had a honey/beekeeping festival in late March. |
Beehive types from the past |
The idea was ostensibly to have an educational festival about honeymaking, but in actuality, there were tables upon tables of pastries, and a "pastry tasting", which ended up meaning that ALL the pastries were given away to the crowd. Pastries by local bakers with businesses that have been established for hundreds of years, like Eceiza and Gorrotxategi. We will be returning in the future. |
Contest winners, with their championship hats. The man who is rocking the mustache in the chef's coat is from the Gorrotxategi family. |
