Rowing
Rowing is one of the most traditional sports in the Basque Country. Best known are the trainera races; these are small narrow boats with a crew of 13 and a skipper. The official tournament is held every Summer along the Cantabrian Sea coast, and ends in early September with the Bandera de La Concha race in San Sebastián.
