Baserri

A baserri is a type of house and farm that you can find in certain places in the world called the Basque Country. The Basque Country is a place where people speak a language called Basque and have a culture that is different from some other places in the world.

Now, let's talk about the baserri. Think of it as a cozy little house built out of strong, sturdy stones. It has a really cool roof made out of a special material called slate that looks like grayish-black shingles. The baserri also has its very own farm called a "baserritarra" attached to it.

If you were to visit a baserri, you would see a place for the animals to live, like cows or sheep, and a place to store plants, like hay. There is also a special part of the farm where you grow fruits and vegetables that are really yummy to eat.

People who live in baserris often have lots of traditions and they work really hard, taking care of their farm and making their own food. They make things like cheese, butter, bread, and wine which they share with their family, friends, and neighbors.

So, a baserri is a special type of house and farm that you can find in the Basque Country. It's a place where people work hard and make delicious food while enjoying the beauty of the countryside.
