 During the festivals the lights are turned off and turn on torches (called locally in Galician ""fachas"") and the people leave for a pilgrimage.Also to note is the "Feria de septiembre," or "September Fair" in English, one of the largest and most traditional livestock festivals across the province of Lugo.However, due to the abandonment of many small farms in nearby villages, its importance was lost in the late 20th century.
