Hasta el 5 de marzo, y coincidiendo con la celebración del Carnaval tradicional de Os Xenerais da Ulla, el hotel A Quinta da Auga acoge una exposición de trajes procedentes del Concello de A Estrada.
La muestra, que abre la programación de Carnaval del hotel, está compuesta por espectaculares y vistosos trajes de “Xenerais” y “Correos” y pretende acercar esta propuesta popular y cultural a huéspedes procedentes de toda España, Francia, Inglaterra y Australia, entre otros países, y a los cientos de visitantes que el hotel acogerá durante estas fechas.
Los Xenerais da Ulla son el eje del Carnaval Tradicional del entorno de Santiago de Compostela y el resto de ayuntamientos de su comarca y de la ribera del río Ulla que está catalogado como fiesta de interés turístico.
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.
