Although Southern Basque Country is part of Spain and Northen Basque Country is part of France, the Basque people have their own traditions at Christmas.

The Three Wise Men are popular in the South and Père Noël in the North, but there is also another character which is well known in both sides of the Pirineess, called Olentzero.

Olentzero was a pagan coal worker who went to adore Jesus to Bethleem. Nowadays, it is said that he brings presents to all good people at Christmas Eve.
