The Cascarots (Template:Lang-eu) are a Romani-like ethnic group from Spain who settled in parts of the Basque Country after the end of the fifteenth century.[1][2]

History

The Cascarots are record from the fifteenth century in Spain and France, around the Basque country.[3][1][2] They are believed to be the descendants of marriages between Basques and Romani people.[4]

Historic documents mention the Cascarots living in ghettos, for example in Ciboure and occasionally entire villages such as the village of Ispoure.[2]

Name

In some sources the name for the Cascarots is recorded as Carraques.[5]

Culture

The Cascarots are traditionally known as good dancers,[6] with the Kaskarotak March being a particular dance seen in the Pyrenean valleys.[7]
