Hiking

In 1983 Athletic was proclaimed League champion for the seventh time in its history and it was a highly desired moment to celebrate it in style. At that time, Pedro Aurtenetxea was president of the club, and a member of its board, Cecilio Gerrikabeitia, inspired by a song: “A barge was coming down the Nervión River…” was the one who had the idea of going up the estuary to aboard a barge. Since then, Gabarra No. 1 was renamed Gabarra Athletic, and became a symbol of red-and-white triumphs.
