Zaragoza held a very strategic position, garrisoned by a good amount of liberal troops. As the Carlist army was supposedly far away, most of the garrison soldiers were sent away in February 1838 to strengthen an army that had to fight against Basilio Garcia's expedition, who was trying to reach the Maestrazgo and join with Cabrera from La Mancha. When Cabrera heard that Zaragoza was almost defenceless, he sent Juan Cabañero y Esponera to seize the city with 2800 infantry and 300 cavalry. He simply wanted to plunder the city, as those men were not enough to keep Zaragoza for long in Carlist hands.
The cincomarzada was a confrontation between Isabelline and Carlist Zaragozans that took place on March 5, 1838. It is celebrated annually as a popular festival in Zaragoza, in a park with food and drink brought by the citizens themselves and enlivened with music and games. For many years it was held in the Tío Jorge Park and during some years of diaspora in different parks of the city, in 2014 it returned to its original location in the park.
