The pirates of San Sebastian are preparing to board San Sebastian from the first hour of the morning. The pirates will make an approach in the afternoon that has also become a symbol of Big Week. They have already begun to make raftswith wood, inflatable, rope... or whatever they can.

The pirates' squads have gathered at the port to prepare the ships and set sail at 5:00 p.m., with more than 1,000 crew members aboard 225 ships, the sole purpose of which is to board San Sebastian, or, in other words, to reach the beach of La Concha as one can.

Once the construction and creation works have been completed, they will join forces at the popular meal in La Flamenka, and at 5 p.m. they will jump into the waters of the Pier to reach the beach of La Concha. Under the motto "Auzolanari tiriraka", pirates will raise flags for diversity in their boats and row against social exclusion.

Anyone who still has strength will be able to enjoy the concert of La Chaama at night, starting at 23:00, to put an end to the great day of the Pirates of San Sebastian.

the city was first invaded by pirates in 2003, and since then the boarding has become a symbol of the Big Week of San Sebastian, and one of the activities that arouses the most expectation within the festive program.

Zaragoza fireworks and lots of music

On this third day of the San Sebastian festivities, it will be up to the pirates to board the city, but there will be no shortage of other events.

Inflatable in the Plaza de Catalunya, bertsolaris, giants and heads in the city centre and at night, the show of Pirotecnia Zaragozana in the fireworks contest, while in Sagüés you can enjoy electronic pop by the hand of OBK in Sagüés.
