Basque Autumn Kicks Off With Cultural Push, Reopenings and Sports Milestones

Official moves on language study, high‑visibility showcases and a phased facility return set the tone for a packed September.

Overview

  • ONCE will feature Donostia’s Tabakalera on its Daily Coupon on September 11, putting the center’s image on five million tickets nationwide.
  • Usurbil’s Oiardo sports complex has partially reopened after safety checks confirmed good air quality, with gyms and courts operating while pool areas remain closed and aquatic enrollments are paused.
  • AEK launched 2025/26 enrollment as the Basque Government’s plan makes A2 study nearly free, with about €70 paid at signup recoverable upon certification.
  • Cultural calendar builds: Bilbao’s Eszena Kalera runs through September 30 with 32 free street‑arts performances, and Durangoko Azoka exhibitor registration is open until September 30 for the December 5–8 fair.
  • Sports slate sharpens with Zarautz crews racing Kontxako qualifiers in Donostia today and Thursday at 18:00, and cyclist Usoa Ostolaza confirmed for the UCI Road World Championships in Kigali from September 21–28.
