Fiesta del Gallo de Corral
As Cruces (Nosa Señora da Piedade)36590 Vila de CrucesPontevedra
This festival has been celebrated since 1993 and offers tastings of poultry and a programme of activities in which music and culture are the focus. The domestic rooster is part of the European Network of Culinary Heritage due to its great quality meat (which is low in fat), intense flavour and firm texture. This is because the roosters are fed a natural cereal diet and are allowed to roam freely during a minimum of nine months. The exhibition and sale of the best roosters takes place in Plaza de Abastos, and the festival is accompanied by musical performances.
