Irura

Ametsa trinkete court

Trinkete is a very special fronton court, Ametsa being one of the few that are in Gipuzkoa. This type of fronton court is where Xare, a type of Basque pelota game, has been played in Irura for over a century. At first it used to be played on the church’s arcade. After a decade of being fogotten in the 60s, it was brought back. This fronton court was built in 1987, and nowadays has a club working on preserving it.
