The festivities dedicated to the Apostle, the patron saint of Santiago, of Galicia and of all of Spain, last for about a fortnight. This festival combines religious and official solemnity, tradition and entertainment, which turn the entire city into a large fiesta.
July 24th and 25th are the two main days. On the night of July 24th there is an impressive firework display in honour of the Apostle, visible from different points in the city.
All activities are free and open access until full capacity is reached.
The attractions will be in the Alameda from the 19th to the 31st.Inclusive hours without noise:20, 27 and 30 July from 17h to 19h.
