The magic triangle.

El triángulo mágico.
Esta semana tiene lugar una de las tradiciones más arraigadas de Galicia, "O Entroido" aunque la festividad suele ser el próximo martes, hoy tienen lugar numerosos desfiles de disfraces tradicionales y en concreto en el llamado triángulo mágico.
Xinzo de Limia y su desfile de "pantallas".
Verin y el desfile de "cigarrons"
Laza con el desfile de "peliqueiros".
En esta imagen puedes ver algunos de los trajes típicos y un mapa con su ubicación.

Que este hilo sirva para que cada uno describa las tradiciones de su tierra o las festividades que se realizan.

The poster for the 2025 Resurrection Fest has already been released. I hope that some of the more than 85 artists confirm that it is to your liking and plan to disembark in Viveiro at the end of June.

Shrove Tuesday today (I was born on Shrove Tuesday, so most years I get two birthdays, an old tradition). In the sticks around here 'thrashing the hen' was a sort of a Welsh Piñata) a live chicken would be buried up to it's neck, then boys would don a blindfold to try and whack it whoever was the first to brain it would take the victim back home to the family for their dinner

I've heard of choking the chicken, but bashing the hen doesn't seem quite as harmless fun
