Welcome to the homepage of New Mexico Euskal Etxea! We are a group dedicated to celebrating the Basque culture in New Mexico. We include people whose ancestors came from the Basque Country to those who just have an interest in Basque culture. All are welcome to join us in our celebrations of all things Basque!
