Pello Errota

Pedro Jose Elizegi “Pello Errota” (1840–1919) was born on the estate of Goikoerrota's Mill near Asteasu, a town in the Basque region of Gipuzkoa, and was one of the best known bertsolaris of all time.

A miller by trade, he married Joakina Antonia Bengoetxea from Zizurkil.

His quick thinking and singing earned him a bright and prominent role in the bertso scene.

Pello Errota sung with all bertsolaris of his era performing at fairs, weddings, contests, etc.

He also went to the Basque Fairs of Euskara from Elizondo alongside José Bernardo Otaño.
