Fairway
This Sunday, 9 November, join us for the Open Day of the VI Fairway at the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia in Santiago de Compostela. Admission is free and the day features a trade-fair space with a wide range of exhibitors —destinations, hotels, travel agencies, service companies— and a special emphasis on gastronomic experiences. A unique chance to explore, enjoy and connect with the world of the paths in an open-to-all event.
The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., featuring guided tours of the Cidade da Cultura, tastings of Galician products, workshops, live music and family-friendly activities. The Open Day will turn Fairway into a meeting point for professionals and visitors alike — a space to experience the Camino de Santiago from many different perspectives.

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.
