María José Leira
María José Leira's paintings are scenes in which the artist tells us stories in which nature, the architecture of the Enlightenment, ports, the sea and the female figure play a special role. Her painting is intense in colour, luminous, close to magical realism, nostalgic, joyful and in some cases vindictive. In short, a work charged with emotion that the artist presents in an exhibition made up of oil paintings, computer graphics and a collection of ceramics on public display for the first time.

Festivals
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.
