The story behind it
Astigarraga is the heart of Gipuzkoa’s cider country, and Sagardo Eguna originated from the tradition of welcoming Saint Anne with cider tasting. It marks the end of cider pressing and has become a key community celebration. It highlights rural Basque cuisine (grilled chorizo, cod omelettes) and folklore, reinforcing local agricultural heritage.
