"Os Pinos" (The Pines; pronounced [ʊs ˈpinʊs]) is the official anthem of Galicia, in Spain. The lyrics were written by Eduardo Pondal (the two first parts of his poem Queixumes dos pinos, "Lamentations of the Pines") and the music by Pascual Veiga. It was composed in Havana, Cuba, where it was performed for the first time in 1907. It was officially adopted by the Galician authorities in 1977.[1][2][3][4]

During the 1982 FIFA World Cup group stage match between Poland and Italy in Vigo, "Os Pinos" was played mistakenly instead of Mazurek Dąbrowskiego; however, Mazurek Dąbrowskiego was played after the Italian anthem beside the Spanish one.[5]
