The Apostle's Festivities kick off on Thursday 21 July with a proclamation by the Compostelan actor Tamar Novas. Calexico, the New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble, Rocío Márquez and Bronquio, Calexico, Heredeiros da Crus, Jenny and the Mexicats, are some of the artists who will fill the city's squares with good music. Open-air cinema, traditional music, circus, big-heads... and of course the traditional firework displays will complete the programme of a festival that is coming back with a lot of energy.
