La International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) es un colectivo sin ánimo de lucro. Está compuesto por asociaciones y personas de todo el mundo comprometidas con la idea de propiciar el encuentro entre los libros y la infancia. IBBY se fundó en Zurich (Suiza) en 1953 y está constituido por setenta secciones nacionales. En España, IBBY está representado por OEPLI, Organización Española para el Libro Infantil y Juvenil, sección española de IBBY con sede en Madrid. OEPLI está organizada en cuatro secciones en consonancia con la pluralidad cultural y lingüística del Estado español: El Consejo General del Libro Infantil y Juvenil (para la lengua castellana); CCLIJ Consell Català del Llibre per a Infants i Joves (para la lengua catalana), GÁLIX, Asociación Galega do Libro Infantil e Xuvenil (para la lengua gallega) y Galtzagorri Elkartea (para la lengua vasca).
The “Festa do Galo Piñeiro e Mostra Cabalar,” declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest in 2010, is held every year on the first weekend in August in the village of Pedrouzo (Arca).
Festival featuring the promotion and tasting of ham, which is held on August 14 in the parish of Bermés (Lalín) and will reach its 16th year in 2014. Cured and roast ham is served, along with bread and wine.
San Caralampio is held in Melide on the second Sunday in September. This festival, also known as the Festival of the Drunks, has Bacchus reminiscences and is devoted to wine.
Lalín’s feast day is held on the first Sunday after September 18th in honour of Our Lady of Sorrows. The festivities last for 5 days, since Monday and Tuesday are local holidays.
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.
