The Fiesta of La Regalina

There are few festivals in Asturias that have been founded and promoted by an intellectual and humanist of the stature of Father Galo. Born in Cadavéu, this priest with cosmopolitan experiences, wide cultural horizons, polyglot, and writer in the Asturian language, founded this festival in 1931, and since then it has been held on the last Sunday in August.

Another of the singularities of La Regalina is that it takes place in the open air in the field of La Garita, next to the Hermitage of Santa María de Riégala, from where there are unique views of the coast and its spectacular cliffs.

The Regalina is one of the unmissable summer events in the council of Valdés, and due to its origins and peculiarities it is a very heartfelt festival, which arouses unwavering support and deep admiration in all those who know it.
