A Basque resort town that reads in two registers at once: a Rower and Canoe bench that is pure Bay of Biscay, and a Writer cluster running at nearly twice the global baseline that belongs to the old Donostia literary café. The Linguist over-index is the most Basque detail of all, a small bench doing outsized work for a language that has spent centuries being studied from exactly here.
