It is almost impossible to move on Iparralde avenue, Iparalde etorbidea is just a forest of Euskal Herria flags and it's no better on the water, la Bidassoa is full of boats with flags and music is all over. I am trying to walk towards the run about where a giant screen is showing the arrival at Bilbao of UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon who, after a press conference in Bilbao is scheduled to deliver an historical speech from Iparalde etorbidea on the pain a divided nation experiences and how it endangers its soul but I doubt I can go any closer. I guess it will have to be delivered from a boat as I don't see how any car could right now cross the split city but is it still a split city?
