Basque Pelota
Basque pelota (Basque: '' pilota'', Spanish: '' pelota vasca'', French: '' pelote basque'') is the name for a variety of court sports played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat or a basket, against a wall (''frontis or fronton'') or, more traditionally, with two teams face to face separated by a line on the ground or a net. The roots of this class of games can be traced to the Greek and other ancient cultures. The term ''pelota'' probably comes from the Vulgar Latin term ''pilotta'' (ball game). It is a diminutive form of the word ''pila'' which may relate to a hard linen or leather ball filled with ''pilus'' (fur or hair) or to the Latin words for strike or spade and is related to the English word '' pellet''. Today, Basque pelota is played in several countries. In Europe, this sport is concentrated in Spain and France, especially in the Basque Country. The sport is also played in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Cuba. Operate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Costera
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Valencian Trinquet
Valencian trinquet, or simply trinquet (), is the court used in the Valencian Community for two different modalities of Valencian pilota: the Escala i corda and the Raspall. Court Trinquets are closed rooms of variable size: from 8.5–11 m wide and 45–60 m long. The short walls are called "frontons", and the long are the "muralles", 4–6 m high. The ball may bounce at them as many times as desired. On the ''frontons'' there are usually seats for the spectators, these are called the "galleries". And sometimes on the ''muralles'', too. There are also stairs (''escales'' in Valencian) built on one of the ''muralles''. Spectators may seat on them as well at their own risk. The ball is played many times on them since the stairs (and bodies of the people) may cause fast and unexpected bounces. The court is divided in two midfields, the "dau" and the "rest". On the corner of the "dau" ''frontó'' and the stairs there is a square draw on the ground, it's the dau (''dice'' in Val ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
