Summary

This paper revisits the conflict over women´s participation in the Alarde of San Marcial (Irun) in the context of the major socio-economic changes currently taking place in the Bidasoa district; it contrasts the optimistic political discourse which promises positive changes and projects an image of a dynamic, innovative town, with the reactionary discourse in defence of tradition that expresses the resistence of the majority to the proposed change.
