A small festivity that takes place Thursday through Sunday in honour of San Caetano (Saint Caetano).
First thing in the morning, the ranchers go up the mountain and drive the wild horses to the curro. Then you can have something to eat on the mountain, in the canteens surrounding the outdoor pen. And in the afternoon, the ranchers go into the outdoor pen and split up, branding the animals and cutting their manes before setting them free
Gastronomical festivity dedicated to the "escalo" fish (Squalius carolitertii) celebrated on the first Sunday of August in the fishing reserve "O Xirimbao" that belongs to the parish of Couso in A Estrada.
This event has been celebrated on the first Sunday of August since 1961 and it was declared an International Festival of Tourist Interest in 2002. It marks the Norman incursions that took place in Galicia in the 12th century, as they came looking for treasures from Compostela and had confrontations with the locals. People gather on the shores and the bridge where the estuary of Arousa merges with the Ulla River. Over the course of the morning the town is filled with thousands of tourists who come to witness the arrival of a Viking longship, just like it happened about a thousand years ago. The ruins of the medieval defensive towers Torres del Oeste become the target of about thirty northern barbarians with horned helmets, who disembark yelling out their most ferocious battle cries. The armed battle for the defence of the towers is the focus at noon, and the festivities continue for the rest of the day with cultural events, folklore music and dances, a medieval market, mussel and red wine tastings, and rural meals. On this day the streets and promenade of Catoira are full of Vikings and visitors enjoying the festival.
The archaeological site of Santa Trega was found in 1913. Excavations began a year later and thus the most visited tourist and cultural area of the region of Rías Baixas (and second most visited in Galicia) was created. A hundred years afterwards, it was decided that the discovery should be celebrated. At first it was small-scale, but soon it became very well-known and other cultural activities were added to the festivities. It was declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in 2009. Different cultural and sporting events take place during the week attracting hundreds of visitors, and at night there are musical performances and open-air dances. One of the main events of the festival is the folklore parade on Saturday, where thousands of people gather to see the regional costumes, and folklore and bagpipe bands fill the streets with music. There are also about twenty bands of fishermen marching to the sound of the drums. Bands, families and visitors all climb the mountain together on Sunday morning to celebrate the most important part of the festival, the centuries-old romería (a short pilgrimage to the church). They go around the mountain while playing the drums, which can be heard across the municipality.
