Not long to go ...
It seems taht is not very clear who was the first taht lighted the rocket. our friend Javier Alonso, along with some of his friends, told us that he remembers a very well known republican from Pamplona called Etxepare; who was the first person who set off the txupinazo from the beginning of the Republica in 1931 to 1936. He was there and he still remembers the way he was dressed "In taht old days fashion; with a bow tie and a straw hat". There were not many people in Plaza del Castillo.
After Etxepare, as it is said in the book of our friends Larrion and Pimoulier, Joaquín Ilundáin an Pérez Salazar were the following people who lighted the rocket.
