This paper presents a reflection on the future development of small rural villages in the Basque Country based on auzolan culture and community values. It is argued that the auzolan culture is more than a set of practices, a collaborative or a type of social organisation, it is an integral vision of the life of the person and of the collective with a long tradition, with the of values, the social organisation and the vision of the world that it entails. On this basis, the results of a survey carried out in September 2020 on political culture, value s, auzolan and small towns in Gipuzkoa are presented.
