Magosto
Galicia's autumn tradition of communal chestnut roasting around bonfires, celebrated across the region in November with new wine, music and ancient Celtic roots.
Rapa das Bestas
In the tiny Galician village of Sabucedo, locals round up wild horses from the mountains and wrestle them with bare hands to trim their manes and tails. This raw, primal 400-year-old tradition is one of Spain's most visceral and unforgettable festivals.
Fiesta de Santa Marta de Ribarteme
Those who survived a near-death experience are carried in open coffins through the streets as thanksgiving to Santa Marta. One of Europe's most unique celebrations.
Festa do Albariño
The Festa do Albariño in Cambados is Spain's premier white wine festival, celebrating the Rías Baixas region's world-famous grape. Five days of wine tastings, Galician seafood, folk music, and cultural events in a charming coastal town.
