Mover os Marcos
Santiago de Compostela will host the second edition of Mover os Marcos from October 1 to 4, a festival combining debates, live music and performances, humor, and social questioning.
Over four days, youth and the general public can join discussions on language, ecology, identities, and housing at the Journalism Auditorium; attend spoken concerts at the University Church with Hugo Guezeta and Alana; and enjoy activities at Casa das Máquinas including break dance, PechaKucha presentations, live podcasts, and performances by emerging Galician bands.
Organized by the Diputación da Coruña, Santiago City Council, and the University of Santiago, Mover os Marcos brings together institutions and the community to create a space for reflection, culture, and intergenerational dialogue, emphasizing that thinking, debating, and celebrating together is key to building a better life. All activities are free and open until full capacity.

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.
