On September 26, 1588, three ships of the Spanish Armada - called \"Invincible Armada\" by English propaganda - were shipwrecked in Ireland at Streedagh Beach, in the county of Sligo.<\/p>\n

The ships that sank there were Lavia, Juliana and Santa Mar\u00eda de Vis\u00f3n. They carried on board 1,100 crew members, but there were only a hundred survivors, who were saved thanks to the help of the Irish Catholics, who had put their hope of freedom in that Spanish military initiative. Year after year, in the village of Grange, located in the aforementioned Irish county, pays tribute to those Spanish sailors.<\/strong> As I told you here last year, Grange even has a museum dedicated to the Spanish Armada.<\/a> At the end of September, that small Irish town celebrates the so-called \"Remembering the Armada Festival\". For a few years now a Spanish Navy ship usually travels to the port of Killybegs to participate in the events.<\/strong> This year the Patrol Boat \"Centinela\" P-72, of the Serviola class, has arrived on the Irish coast. She is already known in that place, because she was in 2016 in Grange to participate in this tribute.<\/p>\n

Like other years, upon arrival at D\u00f3negal Bay a few days ago, the \"Centinela\" raised the flag that the ships of the Spanish Armada -red, white and yellow- trembled:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To verify the involvement of the people of the county of Sligo with this celebration and with the memory of the Spanish sailors, it is enough to point out that in Grange two great murals have been painted this year remembering the Spanish Armada<\/strong>, as you can see in the following video:<\/p>\n
