'Galizien Amerika Linie', el nuevo espectáculo de Xacarandaina, pretende acercar al público ese fenómeno importantísimo de nuestra historia contemporánea más reciente: la emigración.
De todos es sabido que los gallegos hemos sido un pueblo emigrante, pero aunque nos toca a todos de cerca, no somos lo suficientemente conscientes del drama que supuso aquel éxodo, y menos conscientes somos aún de la importancia económica y cultural que esos emigrantes tuvieron para con su tierra y el amor que le dispensan, a cambio de nada, desde a distancia. Con tal propósito Xacarandaina ha creado un espectáculo en el que se mezclará la propia actuación del Grupo con sus bailes, danzas, músicas, vestuarios y puesta en escena con diseño de luz, diseño espacio sonoro y audiovisual, mezclando así el arte tradicional con las nuevas tecnologías, haciendo de Galizien Amerika Linie algo novedoso y único dentro del abanico de los espectáculos hechos en Galicia.
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.
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.
The Arzúa Cheese Festival, declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest, is held on the first weekend in March.
