The players wear a specific equipment: a little chistera (joko garbi) or a leather glove (pasaka). They have to prevent the opponents to score. The game is composed of 13 sets and the count of the points (15, 30, 40 and set) is nearly the same for tennis. Traditionally debuting on Sunday mornings, about 10.30 AM, the game is only interrupted by the Angelus and a moment of reverence, then continues sometimes late in the afternoon.
Around 4.00 PM, will begin the “bare hand” pelote game. You will see some of the best players (most of them from Hasparren !..). The opportunity to share the Haspandars’ passion !
