Da semente á árbore. Un ben para a nosa vida | Intervención paisaxística nas Torres Hejduk
From seed to tree. An asset for our lives connects with the original idea for which the Hejduk towers were designed, conceived as botanical towers. Thus, the spaces are used as a greenhouse, where two types of Galician forests - Atlantic and Mediterranean - are recreated, and as a classroom, where fruits, seeds and final products obtained from the tree are exhibited.
The intervention aims to highlight the importance of forests and woodlands and their multifunctionality. Ecologically, forests are characterized by the dominance of a stratum formed by trees, the main element of this ecosystem where a great diversity of animal and plant species coexist. Trees also make up the forest with other shrub, bush and herbaceous species.
The experience invites us to immerse ourselves in the forest cycle that goes from the seed to the final benefits of trees for our lives: contribution to climate change mitigation, soil protection, conservation of water resources or source of natural resources and raw materials, in addition to a landscape, social, cultural and leisure function.

Festivals
The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
