Potatoes from A Limia are among the best ones in Galicia. In Xinzo de Limia, two festivals in particular are celebrated in great style. One is "O Entroido", which takes 5 Sundays and is among the oldest and most particular carnivals in Spain. The other is ‘Festa do Esquecemento’ (Festival of oblivion), which commemorates the crossing of the Limia by the Roman troops. The legions refused to cross the river, as they believed that crossing it would have led them to loose their memories and get lost in oblivion... But Decimus Junius Brutus crossed the river and, once on the other shore, called each soldier by name. Thus the legend was over and the festival was born.
