Abstract


The day of Saint Agatha has become a holyday for Basques living in Barcelona. Observances reveal a ritual that has been reconstructed on the basis of the Basque tradition, of «what is done» in the Basque country. By means of this ritual, participants construct a significant space «of their own» that provides a pattern with which to attain the social construction of a «we» as a specifically Basque ethnic identity in the diaspora of Barcelona.
