This festival brings out the competitiveness of each one celebrating all kinds of championships that can vary from year to year:&nbsp;<em>Brisca<\/em>&nbsp;championship,&nbsp;<em>Tute<\/em>&nbsp;championship, sports championships, etc. But, with no doubt, the most awaited championship is the \u201cSukalkis\u201d championship, which is more than 40 years old and continues gaining followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Games are also held at festivals where attendees can join and traditional Basque rural sports are practiced. You can also listen to the traditional music of the&nbsp;<em>Trikitixa<\/em>&nbsp;or enjoy the evenings of verbena with some music group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sukalki: a traditional Basque dish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Sukalki<\/em>&nbsp;is a traditional Basque stew that in origin was to chant the body the cold and humid days of winter, but today it is the main dish in several culinary contests of the Basque Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name comes from the word in Basque \u201cSukalde\u201d which means kitchen or stove, so the translation would be \u201cmade on the stove\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dish, very present in the most traditional Basque gastronomy, is usually cooked with tender beef, as the shank, for example, and accompanied with potatoes and different vegetables crushed in the sauce to give it more body and flavour. It is usually served as a unique dish due to its high nutritional content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitgorliz.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GORLIZKO-JAIAK-2026_indice-interactivo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Gorliz Festival 2026 program<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28557,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30617","fiesta","type-fiesta","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"featured_image":{"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.visitgorliz.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urezarantzako-jaiak-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.visitgorliz.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urezarantzako-jaiak-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.visitgorliz.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urezarantzako-jaiak.jpg",500,300,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.visitgorliz.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urezarantzako-jaiak.jpg",500,300,false]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Urezarantza festivities in Gorliz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Urezarantza festivities in Gorliz.
