San Pedroak is Lekeitio’s annual maritime feast honoring Saint Peter. It begins with a High Mass and a procession from the Iglesia de Santa María to the harbour, followed by the Kilin‑Kala ritual (tilting the saint’s image toward the sea for good fishing) and the traditional Kaxarranka dance performed on a wooden chest carried by eight fishermen. The event runs from 29 June to 1 July and is a key expression of the town’s fishing heritage.
This celebration benefits from careful observation, local guidance, and respect for community boundaries.
Attendance can be appropriate while active documentation is not. Let local boundaries define your role.
Avoid filming or photographing moments that feel private, sacred, or restricted.
