Local festivals in A Estrada

San Paio, the Festa do Salmón and the Rapa das Bestas de Sabucedo are three essential fixtures in A Estrada's festival calendar. The patronal festivities bring music, religious observances, sport and street activities to the town centre; the salmon celebration occupies several town venues, while Sabucedo preserves its equestrian gathering in the curro. The Town Council, local associations, hospitality businesses, cultural groups and residents participate in these celebrations.

Usual celebrations

San Paio's main day is 26 June. The Festa do Salmón is usually held in May with a public tasting, and the Rapa das Bestas takes place over the first weekend in July, bringing the horses down from the hills and gathering the aloitadores in the curro.

Other cultural events

The municipal cultural calendar also includes the Feira da Sidra, concerts, literary awards, sports activities and events at several venues across A Estrada.
