The honeymoon was remembered with great fondness by the people surveyed as it was the first time they travelled so far from home and that they were also alone (Aoiz-N).
At the start of the 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century, except for wealthy or high ranking families, it was not usual for the newlyweds to go on honeymoon. In some places, it was explicitly pointed out that the newlyweds never went on a honeymoon (Lekunberri-BN).
In the surveyed locations, many cases were given, in general, of brides and grooms who, after the marriage ceremony, had a small meal and then immediately carried on with the normal work of the home and farm<ref>José Mª SATRUSTEGUI.

The meaning of the ''tornaboda'' has now faded and the very word is no longer in use in the Spanish-speaking areas of the Basque Country. Its Basque names - ''ezteiak'', ''kontraezteiak'', etxeko boda, ''etxe-sartzea'', ''sarjargia'' - are proof of the plural significance of that event.
In the surveys conducted by the Athenaeum in the early 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century, the custom of hosting the ''tornaboda'' was recorded in Aoiz, Castejón, Estella, Falces and Pamplona in Navarra. According to that study, it was held ten days after the wedding in Aoiz and the second day after in Pamplona and Castejón. In Estella, it was a dinner that took place when the couple returned from their honeymoon and all the wedding guests attended. In Falces, this dinner was held in the home of the parents of the bride. It was very lively and ended with a dance that lasted into the early hours<ref>EAM, 1901 (Arch. CSIC. Barcelona) IIDh10.</ref>.
In Moreda (A), Urduliz (B) and San Martín de Unx (N), ''tornaboda''" was taken to be the repetition of the meal of the previous day, the wedding, in order to eat up the leftovers and was only attended by the relatives.
