On the Work of Emily Brönte
Another session of Poetic Mornings, an activity coordinated by Carlos Arias, volunteer of the Cultural Volunteering program of the Galician Library Network, aimed at bringing poetry closer to interested participants.
In these sessions, which will take place on the last Wednesday of each month, there will be a free reading of texts by a poet and an open discussion about the impressions of the reading. Wednesday, January 28, will focus on Emily Brönte. To enrich this session, we will try to establish a small dialogue between three very different eras and sensibilities: Emily Brönte, Teresa of Ávila, and Ausiàs March.
In Work Room A, third floor. Free entry up to a maximum of 15 participants.

ESTIMATED DATES, CALCULATED BASED ON THE PREVIOUS EDITION.
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.
Carnival arrives at Área Central with a programme full of music, celebration and tradition.
The parish of Aríns in Santiago de Compostela celebrates on february 14 its traditional carnival with the so-called Xenerais da Ulla perfomance.
On the afternoon of February 15, the parish of O Eixo in Santiago de Compostela celebrates its traditional carnival with the so-called Xenerais da Ulla perfomance, which involves a stagin where different characters take part.
A full day of tradition and celebration in Conxo: historical Entroido exhibitions, parades, vermouth session, communal lunch, atranques, ear and pancake contests, folk music session, hat costume parade, and the traditional burning of the Meco. Evening entertainment includes live music and karaoke.
After some time in silence, Raíñas is back — more local, more ours, and entering a new stage full of changes. A night to celebrate drag, the scene, and the desire to keep creating together. If you have been before, you already know what it means; if not, this is your sign. This edition will be hosted by Syndra, guiding the night through fantasy and glamour, joined by Yasmine Lutar and Moira Lutar, drag sisters with different energies but the same lineage. Completing the lineup is Liteah, all attitude and power on stage.
Save the dates February 27 and 28 for the big Sar Entroido, full of music, color, and celebration in the neighborhood. On Saturday the 27th, performance by París de Noia, and on Sunday the 28th, parade of the Xenerais da Ulla. Don’t miss it!
A religious and gastronomic festival. One of the most unique and oldest festivities in Galicia.
