Salve Marinera

The Salve Marinera lyrics and music originated in the zarzuela "El Molinero de Subiza", by Cristóbal Oudrid in 1870.

With the passing of the time this anthem has become very popular in nautical theme celebrations throughout coastal areas in Spain.

It is sung as one of the highlights of Our Lady of Mount Carmel yearly commemorational festivities by fishermen on July 16.

[2][3] Mostly the singing of the Salve Marinera takes place after a procession carrying the Virgin's image to the church.

[4][5] Despite its popularity in Catalonia[6] and Galicia, the Salve Marinera has only a Castilian Spanish version; it does not exist in any of the other languages of Spain.
