Marano poet of the seventeenth century; born in Spain. Like his father�the poet Antonio Enriquez Gomez�he resided several years at Rouen, and finally settled in Holland. The following curious description of him is given by the Marano poet Miguel de Barrios:
"Basurto had a broad nose, which was never clean; small sunken eyes, hidden behind a large pair of spectacles; and a mouth comparable to a mill in constant motion. He was short and stout; very carelessly attired, and always carried a cane."
Basurto was the author of "El Triumpho de la Virtud y Paciencia de Job" (Rouen, 1646), a poemconstructed in various meters and inscribed to the mother of Louis XIV.
