Overview
- Donostia Arraun Lagunak won the women's Bandera de La Concha in 2026, marking their fourth straight victory and their fifth overall in the event's history.
- Orio won the men's race in the same regatta, increasing its all-time total to 34 titles and solidifying its lead over San Pedro, Donostia and Hondarribia.
- Arraun's fifth title breaks the previous balance at the top of the women's palmarés by joining the clubs that had five flags and demonstrates a sustained shift since their first win in 2021.
- Since 2000 the men's La Concha titles have been widely shared, with Bermeo holding eight wins in that period and Orio, Hondarribia and Castro close behind in recent decades.
- The results change local bragging rights and raise the stakes for rival clubs, who must respond in upcoming seasons if they hope to reclaim historical standing and regional prestige.
