Zubipuntakaborda, Basque Country

Zubipuntakaborda is the birth place of my father-in-law, Alex Dufurrena. It is situated on the Pyrenees border between Spain and France, and is near the village of Errazu, Spain. Alex and his brothers came to northern Nevada around 1906 to make their living in the sheep and cattle business. He only returned once to this beautifully lush land during his long life.
