Descrizione: Las Encartaciones (Viscaya, Basque provs, Spain), black, grey, white or chestnut, The distribution area of Asno de las Encartaciones is in the north-western part of Spain (Biskaya up to Cantabria). This breed was used as a draught animal in the villages. Mechanisation of agriculture led to nearly extinction of the asno de las Encartationes. Today they are still used as reminiscence of the traditional image of the Basque small villages. This donkey breed plays an important role in the traditional basque agriculture and pasturing.
