What it is

Alarde de Hondarribia explained

A militia parade commemorating the 1638 siege: thousands march in period uniform from the marina up to the walled town, ending with a mass volley of musket fire.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Hondarribia tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
