The Arribada has been declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest. It was the second Galician festival to obtain such recognition. A year earlier, the Cocido de Lal\u00edn festival was recognized as the first Galician celebration of tourist interest.<\/p>\n

Arrival, when Europe learned of the discovery of America<\/h2>\n

Mart\u00edn Alonso Pinz\u00f3n<\/strong> sailed alongside Christopher Columbus in one of the greatest adventures in history, as captain of La Pinta.<\/p>\n

His arrival at the helm of La Pinta in Baiona anticipated that of Columbus himself on his arrival in Lisbon. Therefore, it was in Baiona when it was first known in Europe that the expedition had reached the New World. (Whatsapp coverage was scarce at the time ;-).<\/p>\n
