Gernika's Jai Alai fronton is the largest fronton court in Europe<\/strong> and the second largest in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that it is the fastest ball game in the world has earned it its place in the Guinness Book of Records<\/strong>. Some throws have been known to reach a speed of as much as 300 kilometres per hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
