Festival MARÉ - Músicas e Artes Atlánticas 2023
The MARÉ festival returns to Compostela from 20 to 24 September to become an intercultural reference point for dialogue between music and other arts from both sides of the Atlantic, with a firm commitment to diversity, rapprochement and cultural exchange between territories and societies that share linguistic, historical and other sentimental ties.
MARÉ is an artistic project that advocates social inclusion, feminism and environmental sustainability, and wants to celebrate the fact that we live in a world full of shared talent.

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.
