The crackling of chestnuts sounds throughout Galicia, since the popular and spontaneous festivals, are celebrated in all corners of the Community.
In its origin, The Magosto was a festival around the fire and roasted chestnuts with which the Galicians honored the harvests..
The fire in the home on the cold nights of early November invited us to share ancient stories and legends..
The night is also the scene of the magicians of the gangs, who made fire in the open air and among chestnuts, roasted sausages, new red wine, songs and stories continued a tradition whose elements, including the final burning, They are symbols of life and purifiers.
Traditions that are still very much alive and to which we at AGATUR invite you to participate and celebrate with us..
