A AC. O Galo organiza la charla DIEGO XELMIREZ: O PÍO LATROCINIO, que versará sobre uno de los hechos realizados por Diego Xelmirez, que fue clave para asentar el predominio de la diócesis compostelana y que pervive con mas fuerza en la memoria del pueblo.
Dicha conferencia correrá a cargo de Miguel Vázquez Freire, quien recientemente publicó un estudio sobre este "santo latrocinio" cometido en Braga por el primer arzobispo de Santiago. Gracias a esta actuación de Xelmirez, Compostela alcanzó reliquias de S. Fructuoso, Stª. Susana y S. Cucufato, este último santo y muy abogoso para encontrar las cosas perdidas.

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.
