The quality of the groups that gather every year as Carlos Nuñez, Imar or Yves Lambert Project, National youth pipe band of Scotland, among others, and the organization of the festival make the Festival of Ortigueira a point on our map. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best festivals in Galicia that is a must for lovers of good music.


In the town of Ortigueira there are several stages distributed in different areas, all of them connected with each other and with the camping area with a bus service to enjoy the parades and cultural activities during the day, the official concerts at night and the extra official party that is organized in the camping area until dawn.
