We are culture because we are part of a society that expresses itself in a certain way. Customs, rituals, behaviors, music, theater, traditions, gastronomy, festivals are culture and A Pobra do Brollón wants to enhance it and reach the more people, the better.
In addition to occasional activities organized in the parishes, the cultural center is the main center for this type of activity, developing cultural events for all audiences throughout the year. We have a specific agenda for celebrations such as Christmas, Carnival or the Guímara festival.
With the beginning of the year, a lot of possibilities open up in A Pobra do Brollón to enjoy leisure time and different activities.
In addition to the two fair days that in the Poor Brollón is the 11th and 25th of each month and the 2 days at the Station, the first emblematic event in the municipality of A Pobra is the carnival.
O carnival In Pobra do Brollón there are two main venues: the municipal capital itself and Salcedo. In Salcedo, carnival activities begin on Carnival Saturday, during which the traditional theatre is held by the residents and there are madamas and dancers and On Carnival Monday, the mythical bear comes out..
The bear and his servants appear in the middle of the afternoon through the streets of the village to scare and scare the neighbors and visitors. The appearance of the bear has an important ethnographic value and is associated with the arrival of spring. In Salcedo it is above all a holiday in which the bear treats us all equally, for him there are no differences.
