[IK0ZCW]

Special Event Station EG1FDA for Fiesta de La Arribada on 1 and 2 March. In the year 1974, March 1st -commemorative day of the arrival of Caravel Pinta with news about the discovery of America- was established as local public holiday. The acts commemorating the episode have been improved in recent years and, thus, the holiday has moved to the first weekend following the official holiday. That weekend the old quarters and its neighbouring area become a medieval fair where 15th-cententury-resembling crafts and products are sold. Streets are crowded with street musicians, minstrels, jugglers, and craftsmen bringing back to life the Middle Ages in Baiona. Besides, on Saturday and Sunday evenings a play based on Martin Alonso Pinzón and his crew's story about the Deed is acted. The plot is placed n Baiona, March 1st, 1493 and main roles are Pinzón and the Mayor. Special qsl card for one qso. Special PDF Award for work us on 3 diferents bands/modes.
