Pelota - Soul of the Basque Country and the world's fastest ball sport
There is hardly a sport that unites the people of the Basque Country as much as pelota. Located on the border between France and Spain, the region still sees itself as an independent province with a common culture, language and identity.

You can play pelota with your hand or with a racket, even with a specially made glove. There are about 20 variations in total. The important thing is that there is an opposite wall that allows the thrown ball to bounce back. What sounds simple requires strength, speed and agility. In the Basque Country, this sport has been practised for centuries. It was invented here and even today children play it after school in public squares and streets.
