Xenerais da Ulla
The natural region of La Ulla has an original rural carnival of which we have witnesses for more than two centuries.
The most important characters are the Generals and Post Office on horseback, who tour the parishes throughout the day cheering residents and visitors, accompanied by an "army" of standard-bearers, choirs, comparsas and partying.
They end up staging a blockade (or halt), a dialectical confrontation in pairs, used to make fun of and satire local affairs, politics or the heart, which occurred during the year.
From one parish to another, the Ulla Carnival presents small differences, each of them maintaining defining traits that make them unique.
Decorated generals and couriers make up the spectacularity of this authentic expression of the traditional Galician carnival.
