The city of Vigo is preparing to celebrate the traditional Irish Saint Patrick's Day this year, which will be held in the Bouzas neighborhood.

On March 20, 21, 22, and 23, you can sample a variety of Irish as the most famous Guinnes and other like spanish or German beers in a large tent set up for the event.

However, in keeping with the purest Irish tradition, all you need is a cozy Irish pub and good company to celebrate.

The origin of Saint Patrick's Day, celebrated on March 17, commemorates the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who died on that day in 461. Saint Patrick was a missionary who was captured by pirates at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. After six years, he managed to escape and returned home, but later returned to Ireland as a missionary to spread the Christian faith.

Over the centuries, the figure of Saint Patrick became a symbol of Irish identity. Today, March 17th is known for parades, beers, and the tradition of wearing green clothing, symbolizing the Emerald Isle of Ireland. The holiday has gone global, especially celebrated in the United States.
