From Candeán to London and I shoot because it’s my turn. / Assigned
Not long ago we gave photographic evidence of their festive passage through Seville and today we bring the people of the AA.VV. from Candean posing in front of Tower Bridge in London. How those from Candéan are moving, who already have their next trip in the oven, to the Azores!
From the chestnuts of Bieito Ledo in Padroso to the kirie eleison of Antón Pulido
On Sunday evening I call the editor Bieito Ledo, the latest Celanova Casa dos Poetas Prize winner, and I find him roasting chestnuts in his house in Padroso, fresh from his 4 castiñeiros. Dark, rainy and windy night in Padroso, a village in the parish of Abeleda, in the municipality of Xunqueira de Ambía, in the province of Ourense. Four inhabitants. I notice Bieito happy roasting those chestnuts of which he sends me a photo and which bring back memories of his childhood, when the number of residents in his village increased tenfold. I bet my soldier that, after a drink of good wine to better swallow them and without the right time to go to her Carballo de Padroso in case it turned into lightning, she would love to then sit in front of the organ of the Collegiate Church of Xunqueira de Ambía next to that of Amoeiro , his bosom friend the painter Antón Pulido, who interpreted a Gregorian kirie eleison; Yes, yes, I say Pulido, the artist who reached 80 and will be praised and praised on Saturday, at the Premios da Crítica 2024 ceremony, one of whose marinated paintings I admire just by raising my head while I write. I would add there in the choir of the Collegiate Church to that of San Cristóbal de Cea, the writer Modesto Hermida giving them blessings and speeches with his sacred and fine humor. And to Luis Suárez, organizing the event.
Those of Beade, on the verge of mussel
Those from Candeán went to London, as you can see in the photo above, but surely many Londoners would not mind coming to Vigo and its parish of Beade to participate in the XI Festa do Mexilón, humble but tasty. This Sunday, starting at 11 in the morning, several hundred kilos of mussels from the Arousa estuary will be distributed, which can be tasted at popular prices and completely free of charge to all the neighbors who collaborated this past year in the San Juan de San Juan festival. Beade. As every year it will be in a local parish and this year it is the turn of the De Boa Miga bakery, pastry and cafeteria and they will have the folklore group “CHASCARRASCHAS” to liven up the fraternization.
Those from Plaff and their Eurovision party
And if those from Beade have their gastronomic party on Sunday, on Saturday night it will be the Plaff pub (c/ Oliva) with its Eurovision PetardPop Party. What a party at Plaff, where Eurovision artists such as Lucía Pérez, Anabel Conde, Suzy Guerra, Eva Santamaría, Brequette and Nicki French have recently attended! In this case, Eurofans who come will be able to enjoy live (11:30 p.m.) the performance of the singer Aiko, Czech representative at the Eurovision 2024 festival, who will be accompanied by Kat Almagro, the drummer of the Spanish group Megara, representatives of San Marino in this same year. Tickets at the door from 8 p.m. for 10 euros. Do you want more for less?
