Premiere by the Ballet Nacional de España at the Teatro de La Zarzuela in Madrid on 29 September 1979.
Framed by two unreal figures who are seeking for light, life and love, different scenes follow one another in this Basque suite: the pilgrimage to the shrine where maidens go to beg for love, the ringing of the “alcoba”, the partying of the young men on the streets, love conversations, dances -including the characteristic “zortziko”- the nostalgia of girlfriends waiting for their absent boyfriends. The joy of the return expressed by the quick, graceful arin-arin dance, and finally, the great group dance of the people inspired by the choreographic motifs of the fandango.
