Visita guiada ao Panteón de Galegos Ilustres
Guide: Xoán Costa, a secondary school teacher who has written several studies on this pantheon.
During the visit we will know how the Pantheon of Illustrious Galicians was created and became a reality, we will look at its tombs and we will have explanations about the personalities that rest there. Among them are figures of great importance for Galician culture and politics, such as the geographer Fontán, the writer Rosalía de Castro, the sculptor Asorey or the politician and artist Castelao.

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.
