A memoria da cor
Exhibition of paintings by the artist Xaquín Chaves.
If there is one element that has always defined Chaves' work, it is colour, which the artist defines as “magical”. Through glazes, stains, chromatic fields and other cases where the brushstroke is more gestural, ‘A memoria da cor’ reveals the artist's ability to translate, through his mastery of chromatic language, personal experiences, sensations or memories, transferring them to the painting and, by extension, to the spectator who contemplates it.
Black and white also have a space in this exhibition, through two sculptural pieces that translate the polyhedral spirit of Xaquín Chaves and his interest in experimenting with different materials, such as limestone, iron or wood.

Festivals
The festivities dedicated to the Apostle, the patron saint of Santiago, of Galicia and of all of Spain, last for about a fortnight. This festival combines religious and official solemnity, tradition and entertainment, which turn the entire city into a large fiesta.
July 24th and 25th are the two main days. On the night of July 24th there is an impressive firework display in honour of the Apostle, visible from different points in the city.
