| Description |
|
Located between A Terra Chá and the
area known as the Mariña Lucense, on
the road to Ribadeo and Asturias. It was
once one of the seven capitals of the
Ancient Kingdom of Galicia, and a bishops
seat with Romanic cathedral included, and
today a living museum of the past. The
town has close connections with a famous
15th century figure, Marshal Pardo de
Cela, and the famous Conciliar Seminar
of Santa Catalina, which became a focal
point for this city that was to be the
birthplace of musicians such as Pascual
Veiga and writers such as Álvaro
Cunqueiro. Yet this town is equally famous
for its delicious almond tarts. The fairs
and festivals are celebrated on the days
leading up to and around 19 October,
the highlight of which is the famous horse
market that attracts the inhabitants of the
A Mariña and the surrounding hillsides.
It provides a perfect backdrop to show off
the finest arts and crafts on offer in the
province of Lugo and the whole of Galicia.
