Ons Island San Xaquín festivities noise dispute

Overview

The San Xaquín de Ons festivities on Ons Island were subject to a dispute regarding noise regulations within the Illas Atlánticas National Park. The Ministry of Environment and the Xunta de Galicia initially sought to prohibit loudspeakers and DJs, citing concerns that such music would violate environmental protections. This led to protests by local residents, who blocked visitor landings to defend their traditions.

Following negotiations involving the Bueu City Council and technical reviews, the Xunta granted an extraordinary authorization allowing musical events provided that decibel levels are strictly controlled.

The festivities ultimately proceeded, including religious masses, processions, and musical performances. Despite intermittent rain, the celebrations were completed without major incidents.
