Abstract

This article deals with the festivities of Bilbao in August 1978 in order to examine certain collective practices in the context of the Spanish transition to democracy. The Aste Nagusia (Great Week) favored the visibility of an upcoming civil society. This was achieved by the occupation of the streets. However, these free spaces like the festivities of Bilbao became also the site where radical Basque nationalism defended ETA ́s terrorism.
