Book launch «Hegal Egiten» by Eneko Bidegain, Karrikiri, Pamplona

Karrikiri

Karrikiri, a Basque-language cultural space in Pamplona, hosts the presentation of the 2026 novel Hegal Egiten by Eneko Bidegain on a Wednesday evening. The book retells a famous episode of recent Basque history, the escape of two prisoners from the prison of Pau in December 1986, following the character Maddi Hegi. According to the listing, it also describes life in prison, the part played by women, the pressure of police and the difficulty of understanding between generations, based on testimonies, letters and research. The author talks with Maddi Ane Txoperena. Entry is free and the event is in Basque. The listing gives no end time, so we assume about an hour and fifteen minutes. A book launch with a conversation is an easy way to hear a writer and meet readers. «Presentación de libro: "Hegal Egiten" (Eneko Bidegain)» Starts 19:30, ends about 20:45.

Poetry book launch, Katakrak bookshop, Pamplona

Katakrak Liburuak

On Wednesday evening 9 December the bookshop Katakrak on Calle Mayor in Pamplona holds the presentation of a poetry collection by the writer Xabier Etxarri, Buscando en las cenizas huellas. The synopsis describes a poem as an intuition, a glimpse of something captured in a sketch of words that sets off another intuition in the reader. The poems, it says, grow from an old rural world hidden in the cracks of time, from solitude and its rituals, from aching music, from wild and serene nature and from endless nostalgia. Entry is free and the language is Spanish. The listing gives no end time, so we assume the evening ends around 20:30. It starts at 19:00. A bookshop reading is a gentle, small-scale event where it is easy to chat to strangers afterwards. «Presentación de libro: "Buscando en las cenizas huellas" (Xabier Etxarri)» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Ron Lalá musical comedy La Desconquista, Teatro Gayarre, Pamplona

Teatro Gayarre

On Saturday 9 January 2027 at 20:00 the Teatro Gayarre, at Avenida Carlos III 1 in Pamplona, hosts La Desconquista by the company Ron Lalá. The Kulturklik listing calls it a burlesque, comic and musical comedy based on the chronicles of the Discovery, a mad journey into the imperial dreams and ambitions of the empire on which the sun never set. It promises live music, a frantic rhythm, original texts and songs, dizzying humour and scenic poetry, performed by a quintet of comedians: Juan Cañas, Miguel Magdalena, Diego Morales, Luis Retana and Daniel Rovalher, directed by Yayo Cáceres. Tickets are listed at 7.50 and 15 euros, and the language is Spanish. A comedy with live music is one of the easiest nights to enjoy alone, because the whole room laughs together. The show starts at 20:00 and ends at about 21:30. «"La Desconquista"» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30. Source: Kulturklik — Basque Government / Open Data Euskadi (CC BY 4.0).

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
