ADEGA, a historic organization in Galician environmentalism, celebrates its 50th anniversary with a series of activities in Santiago de Compostela from September 29 to October 7.
The program, in collaboration with the City Council, aims to bring citizens closer to the history and challenges of the Galician ecological movement. It begins on Friday, September 26 at 12:00 PM at Paseo da Alameda with the opening of the traveling exhibition 50 Years Caring for the Earth, followed by a guided tour. In the afternoon, the documentary A terra por gañar will be screened, accompanied by a roundtable on ADEGA’s history.
Over the following eight days, there will be recycling workshops, visits to the wastewater treatment plant, guided routes, screenings, and biodiversity activities, many requiring prior registration: bit.ly/50anos_compostela.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
