Main Nue--Esku Pilota Summer 30-35 point village matches

Esku Pilota organized a series of Summer 30-35 point matches at outdoor venues (fronton place libres). It was a notable effort to take the game to some of the smallest villages in the North Basque Country. Note that below the town or village population (source: Wikipedia town or village articles) is listed for each venue. There is full match video for one of these matches, the Trophee Esku Pilota (see below, the first match listed).
