Vente Vindo | Celso F. Sanmartín
Vente Vindo is an oral storytelling show by Celso Fernández Sanmartín, poet, collector, and storyteller, arriving at the Biblioteca de Galicia for the Intangible Heritage Day.
Celso has spent years performing across Spain and much of Europe, sharing tales, memories, and emotions. As a poet, he has published several books; as a storyteller, each story becomes a place to return to.
In 2022, he was awarded the Rebulir Prize of Galician Culture for his work preserving and promoting oral tradition. In this performance, he shares a collection of old stories, memories, and traditional tales, told with honesty, humor, and emotion.

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.
