Cultura marítima vasca

Abstract

In the corpus of Basque culture the sea plays an important role that goes from prehistory to the present day. Without the sea the history of the Basque people might have been very different. Basque culture is not a spirit, a feeling, even though spirits and feelings do a ccompany it. It is a concrete set of events, knowledge, forms of understanding, and telling. Upon systematising our approximation to maritime culture we followed its relationship to Basque culture or Eusko Kultur Gaiak.
