This festival consists of a historical re-enactment of the arrival of the caravel La Pinta to Baiona on 1 March 1493 with news of the discovery of the New World. It has a deep historical significance and attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year, as well as a large number of locals.
The event is full of the colours, shapes and flavours of a medieval town. The re-enactment takes place on the beach of A Ribeira in the form of a theatrical performance, and there are also food stalls, craft stands, jousting tournaments, falconry displays, a climbing wall, zip lines, knight training for children, medieval rides throughout the streets and squares and a royal market.
