It was created in 2016 by El Patito Editorial under the direction of Miguelanxo Prado.
Since then, it has become a landmark event for those who work with travel sketchbooks and urban drawing, both in Spain and internationally.

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.
