Canta compañeira canta
The Biblioteca de Galicia hosts the premiere of Canta compañeira canta, a musical project in which Felisa Segade and Merchi Rodríguez refer to the remudas, a tradition involving the rotation of partners to make music at tambourine parties, where women are the ones who play and sing so others can dance. A reminiscence of the duo represented by Adolfina and Rosa Casás Rama, two of the cantareiras honored on Día das Letras Galegas 2025.
Felisa Segade and Merchi Rodríguez were members of the group Leilía, pioneers in advocating for the role of women in Galician folklore, who over the years recovered the sound of tambourines and the voices of Galician oral tradition.
Free admission with prior registration. If all spots are taken, stay alert — there may be free places or last-minute cancellations.

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.
