Every June 30 (the day of San Marcial) the smell of gunpowder takes over Irun. And that day is celebrated in the municipality of Gipuzkoa the traditional parade of arms that commemorates the victory of the Irunese troops over the French during the early morning of June 30, 1522.
The tradition of the parade of San Marcial goes back in time to the period when the Basque foral laws only allowed the settlement of garrisons of the Spanish army in the Gipuzkoan cities of San Sebastian and Fuenterrabia. The defense of the rest of the cities, Irun among them, was in charge of popular militias under the command of a general, a role that was occupied by right by the local mayor. Once a year, a review of troops and weapons was carried out -which is what the boast consisted of- to verify the state of the militia.
