Sara Baras, Infinita, a flamenco show, at Baluarte, Pamplona

Auditorio Baluarte

On Sunday 20 December 2026 at 20:00 the Auditorio Baluarte in Pamplona hosts the dancer Sara Baras, from Cádiz, who the listing says returns for the tenth time to Baluarte with her new proposal, Infinita. It says Infinita is born of an identity, a heritage, time, and a land that gives to us and teaches us, a beat that does not stop. It describes eight women's gazes, eight women who look at us and a single pulse embodying Andalusia, beating in time with flamenco. The listing calls it a dance that does not explain or lecture, a woman's dance whose only aim is to share and enjoy together an essence and a legacy that is passed on and remains. It ends by saying Infinita does not describe, it dreams. Tickets cost 45 or 68 euros. The end shown is estimated. A flamenco dance show is easy to join alone. «Infinita no describe; sueña.» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:45. Source: Kulturklik — Basque Government / Open Data Euskadi (CC BY 4.0).

Auditorio Baluarte

On Sunday 14 March 2027 at 18:30 the Auditorio Baluarte in Pamplona presents the Pasión según San Juan, Bach's St John Passion, in the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra season. The listing says that on the eve of Holy Week it offers one of the summits of the baroque sacred repertoire, performed by the Il Gardellino Orchestra and the Choeur de Chambre de Namur under the direction of Korneel Bernolet. It describes a reading that highlights the dramatic richness and musical architecture of the work, where arias, choruses and recitatives build a story of great emotional weight. The Choeur de Chambre de Namur, founded in 1987, is described as one of the best-known choirs in Europe. The listing calls it an experience that invites contemplation and reflection. Tickets cost 23 or 45 euros. The end shown is estimated.

Civican

On Saturday 26 December 2026 at 18:30 Civican in Pamplona welcomes Abraham Boba, vocalist and keyboardist of León Benavente, within the Música para Leer cycle of the Santaspascuas festival. The page describes the cycle as dedicated to thought, literature and meetings with artists linked to the world of music. Boba comes to present 163 centímetros, a project that moves between a poetic essay and a staged proposal. Through words and reflection, he offers a personal and intimate look that invites the audience to explore the connections between identity, life experience and artistic creation. The listing calls it a meeting that widens the limits of music to enter the territory of literature and thought. The event is listed as a talk, in Spanish, and entry is free. A talk like this is easy to attend alone, since people are there to listen and think about the same ideas. «Un encuentro que amplía los límites de lo musical para adentrarse en el territorio de la literatura y el pensamiento» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

Teatro Gayarre

On Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 20:00 the Teatro Gayarre in Pamplona hosts Verborrea, a coproduction by Buxman Producciones and Nave 10, written and directed by Pablo Remón. The listing says the play is structured like an old cassette tape with a side A and a side B and tells the rise and fall of a punk band from the late 1980s and early 1990s through monologues and crossing voices, following two brothers who grew up at the end of the dictatorship. The cast is Javier Cámara, Israel Elejalde, Marta Nieto and Emilio Tomé. It is described as a savage tragicomedy about inheritance and our need to build and tear down myths. The running time is 100 minutes. The listing gives two ticket prices, 6 euros and 25 euros, and the main price is 25 euros, bought through the theatre's booking link. The play is in Spanish. A theatre evening like this is easy to attend alone, since the audience simply shares one story. «Verborrea es una tragicomedia salvaje –llena de mugre y suciedad, pero también de poesía–– sobre la herencia» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:40.

Book launch «Hegal Egiten» by Eneko Bidegain, Karrikiri, Pamplona

Karrikiri

Karrikiri, a Basque-language cultural space in Pamplona, hosts the presentation of the 2026 novel Hegal Egiten by Eneko Bidegain on a Wednesday evening. The book retells a famous episode of recent Basque history, the escape of two prisoners from the prison of Pau in December 1986, following the character Maddi Hegi. According to the listing, it also describes life in prison, the part played by women, the pressure of police and the difficulty of understanding between generations, based on testimonies, letters and research. The author talks with Maddi Ane Txoperena. Entry is free and the event is in Basque. The listing gives no end time, so we assume about an hour and fifteen minutes. A book launch with a conversation is an easy way to hear a writer and meet readers. «Presentación de libro: "Hegal Egiten" (Eneko Bidegain)» Starts 19:30, ends about 20:45.

Poetry book launch, Katakrak bookshop, Pamplona

Katakrak Liburuak

On Wednesday evening 9 December the bookshop Katakrak on Calle Mayor in Pamplona holds the presentation of a poetry collection by the writer Xabier Etxarri, Buscando en las cenizas huellas. The synopsis describes a poem as an intuition, a glimpse of something captured in a sketch of words that sets off another intuition in the reader. The poems, it says, grow from an old rural world hidden in the cracks of time, from solitude and its rituals, from aching music, from wild and serene nature and from endless nostalgia. Entry is free and the language is Spanish. The listing gives no end time, so we assume the evening ends around 20:30. It starts at 19:00. A bookshop reading is a gentle, small-scale event where it is easy to chat to strangers afterwards. «Presentación de libro: "Buscando en las cenizas huellas" (Xabier Etxarri)» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Jumelage + Sedientos de Cumbia, SantasPascuas, Zentral, Pamplona

Zentral Cafe Teatro

On Wednesday 30 December 2026 at 19:30 Zentral Cafe Teatro in Pamplona hosts Jumelage and Sedientos de Cumbia, part of the SantasPascuas 2026 festival. The listing says Jumelage was born in the heart of old Iruña through Julen Caba and ElhijodelaSastre, makers who worked before in local projects such as Jarel Babel and SMOG, and mixes visceral southern rumba strumming with the untamed character of the north, with pure hand claps and street poetry. Sedientos de Cumbia began in early 2024 in the birth house of the violinist Pablo Sarasate in Iruña, where a mixed group united by a passion for river-plate cumbia villera, drinking from the legacy of Damas Gratis and Supermerk2, decided to translate that popular pulse into the nights, humour and street life of Navarre. The price is 18 euros, with tickets sold online, and the language is Spanish. A double bill like this is easy to enjoy alone, since the room is there to dance and listen together. «Pocas formaciones han sacudido el circuito de directos de Euskal Herria con la velocidad, el ingenio y el descaro de Sedientos de Cumbia» Starts 19:30, ends about 22:30.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
