Officially the Reconquista is commemorated on March 28 but this year it will coincide with Holy Thursday for which will be held on two consecutive weekends.

For this reason, the town of Vigo received the title of "faithful, loyal, brave." Granted on March 1, 1810 by the Regency Council of Spain and the Indies.

Furthermore, the city of Vigo was the town that was occupied for the shortest time and was the first in the uprising and subsequent reconquest from the conquerors.
