Trivia During the festival there is an International Salmon Fishing Tournament in the reserves of the Ulla organised by the Sports Association of the Ulla River.Origin and history Fishing salmon in this municipality dates from a few years after the war, when salmon reserves were full of people. The Ulla River had so much salmon during that time that it was shipped to other parts of Galicia and the rest of Spain. However, most of it ended up in A Estrada, where it was prepared in many different ways and the town became renowned for it.
