The Museum of Pilgrimages in Santiago de Compostela will host the 16th edition of the International Jacobean Lectures this coming July, under the title Scholars of the Camino de Santiago and Pilgrimage. Registration is now open for this event, which will once again bring together international experts in pilgrimage history who will share their research on this phenomenon, with a special focus on the Camino de Santiago.
These sessions, organised by the Institutional Chair of the Camino de Santiago and Pilgrimages, are part of the summer courses promoted by the University of Santiago de Compostela. Undergraduate students enrolled at the university will receive 2 academic credits for attending. In addition, USC doctoral students will receive recognition for a total of 10 training hours.

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.
A full day of tradition and celebration in Conxo: historical Entroido exhibitions, parades, vermouth session, communal lunch, atranques, ear and pancake contests, folk music session, hat costume parade, and the traditional burning of the Meco. Evening entertainment includes live music and karaoke.
After some time in silence, Raíñas is back — more local, more ours, and entering a new stage full of changes. A night to celebrate drag, the scene, and the desire to keep creating together. If you have been before, you already know what it means; if not, this is your sign. This edition will be hosted by Syndra, guiding the night through fantasy and glamour, joined by Yasmine Lutar and Moira Lutar, drag sisters with different energies but the same lineage. Completing the lineup is Liteah, all attitude and power on stage.
Save the dates February 27 and 28 for the big Sar Entroido, full of music, color, and celebration in the neighborhood. On Saturday the 27th, performance by París de Noia, and on Sunday the 28th, parade of the Xenerais da Ulla. Don’t miss it!
A religious and gastronomic festival. One of the most unique and oldest festivities in Galicia.
