Festa Corsaria festival in Marín

Overview

The municipality of Marín is preparing for the 2026 Festa Corsaria, which is expected to be the largest edition to date. Initial announcements detailed record-breaking participation, including 100 requests for pirate-themed meals from individuals and local businesses.

The festival commemorates historical events from August 1800 in Aguete, specifically the defense of the town by Juan Gago de Mendoza against English troops attempting to seize silver from the frigate Alcudia. Planned activities include a Corsair Market, historical maritime vessel displays, demonstrations of traditional trades like blacksmithing, and a nighttime spectacle dedicated to Gago de Mendoza.

As the event approaches, Mayor María Ramallo noted a significant increase in requests for outdoor seating. The festivities will expand its geographic reach to include Parque Eguren alongside traditional areas such as the Alameda, Calle Real, and Rúa do Sol. The program features a mix of historical reenactments, concerts, and a concluding fireworks display.
