“Galicia es una potencia literaria”. Con esta frase, la Cidade da Cultura inició en 2011 una segunda etapa dedicada a festejar a nuestros más grandes autores clásicos. Esa misma frase, esa misma convicción, es la que nos incita ahora a celebrar una nueva edición del ciclo “Galicia, Ceo das Letras”.
Novelista, ensayista, cuentista, periodista y crítica literaria, doña Emilia (A Coruña, 1851 – Madrid, 1921) es una de las más eminentes escritoras de la literatura española del siglo XIX.
La autora de Los pazos de Ulloa es considerada a introductora del naturalismo y del espiritualismo ruso en España y fue la primera mujer en presidir la sección de literatura del Ateneo de Madrid, así como la primera catedrática de Universidad y la primera consejera de instrucción pública.
La independencia y dignidad en su vivir, y la denuncia de la hipocresía moral de la época la han convertido en un símbolo precursor de los movimientos feministas de hoy.

Presenta Xulia Santiso, conservadora responsable de la Casa Museo Emilia Pardo Bazán.
Durante siete sesiones y hasta final de año desfilarán por el auditorio de la Biblioteca de Galicia tres autores cumbre de las letras gallegas (Celso Emilio Ferreiro, Otero Pedrayo y Castelao), una escritora nuestra, prodigio de la literatura castellana (Emilia Pardo Bazán) y un elenco de talentos mundiales a los que nos unen la vecindad, la lengua o el universo de la imaginación (Federico García Lorca, Jorge Amado y James Joyce).
Cada una de las siete sesiones que darán vida a estos ‘Sábados de autor’ constará de una charla inicial impartida por un experto de referencia para, a continuación, dar paso a una actuación artística -música, cine, teatro…- ligada al espíritu del escritor homenajeado.
Since 1999, the town of Silleda has held this festival promoting ham foreleg, one of the area’s characteristic products.
A characteristic festival beside the River Ulla, in the Agronovo Recreational Area (Vedra). A chub fishing competition is held at the same time.
The Chorizo in Wine Gastronomic, Recreational and Cultural Association of Ortoño organises the 10th year of its chorizo in wine festival.

Every year more than 1,500 people gather to savour the biggest paella made in Galicia with 1,000 kg of rice. The festival started in 2001 and has already been consolidated as an important event in the Municipality of Silleda’s festive calendar.
The Chaián Chub Festival reaches its 40th year in 2014 and includes the now-traditional cyprinid fishing competition, as well as a popular gastronomy festival and subsequent dance.

This is a very popular festival that is well established in the Municipality of Silleda’scalendar. Every year, more than 10,000 people gather together to savour around 2,000 portions of omelette and 1,000 litres of wine free of charge. The festival began to be held in 1989, reaching its 22nd year in 2010.

Religious pilgrimage. It is held at the end of August near the village of Beca, in the parish of Bastavales. The pilgrims go to a forest where the stone figure of St. André, possibly from Castro Lupario, is venerated. During this popular pilgrimage, sardines, cornbread, boiled potatoes and wine are served.

Like the 5th of every month, the Municipality of Touro holds its local market, but on this occasion it is devoted especially to the Carnival Festival. A parade featuring the traditional “Xenerais da Ulla” and carnival groups with the festival’s most representative elements.
Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, the Stew Festival is a tribute to one of the outstanding dishes of Galician gastronomy. It is held on the Sunday before the Carnival festival and with the passing of the years, it has become one of the main gastronomy festivals in Galicia and even in the Iberian Peninsula. It began in 1968, with the objective of exalting and promoting the town of Lalín as a point of reference in the production of quality meat and excellent farm products.
The Arzúa Cheese Festival, declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest, is held on the first weekend in March.
An event declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest that receives an important number of visitors from all over Galicia every year. This festival was one of the first “filloa” (crepe) festivals held in Galicia, being centred on an exclusively Galician product, just like other traditional products accompanying it (honey, chorizo…), although there are similar desserts in other regions and countries. In view of its age, we can determine that it originated as a genuine promotion of this characteristic Entroido (Galician Carnival) product.
