Concert of neighbourhood choirs in San Fiz de Solovio
San Fiz de Solovio will host this Christmas a very special choir concert, performed by the neighbourhood choirs of Castiñeiriño, Vite and Santa Susana/Ensanche.
This concert is the result of the collaboration between the municipal areas of Tourism of Santiago de Compostela and the Municipal Network of Sociocultural Centres. This collaboration, which was born in this Nadal 2022, aims to give visibility to the neighbourhood of Compostela in an essential monumental space in the Christmas of our city as is the church of San Fiz, taking the opportunity of the exhibition of the beautiful traditional nativity scene that is installed there, renewed, every year at this time.
The church of San Fiz de Solovio is fundamental in the founding history of Santiago, in addition to the fact that its tympanum houses a beautiful Gothic representation of the Epiphany or Adoration of the Magi.

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.
The natural region of a Ulla features an original rural carnival, whose record goes back to the mid-19th century.
