O Apalpador
Pulpiño Viascón, Galician musician, circus performer and multi-instrumentalist, tells us the story of the Apalpador through an adventurous soundtrack created with his magical instruments: musical saw, diatonic accordion (trikitixa), foot tambourine, Game Boy chiptune, and of course, the powerful voice of the Apalpador.
And as it couldn’t be otherwise… the Apalpador will bring gifts for children with his empty belly.
For family audiences. In the auditorium. Free admission until full capacity is reached.

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.
The natural region of a Ulla features an original rural carnival, whose record goes back to the mid-19th century.
