What to do and see in Arzua

Luisa Rodríguez Correos de Arzúa

“If you come to Arzúa on the 8th and 22nd of each month, you can see the traditional street market with produce from the area. Besides, the first weekend in March is the Festa do Queixo (Cheese Festival) with tastings of the different types of cheese from this and other areas. We also have eco-fairs, the honey festival... most of them to showcase the large array of wonderful produce found here”.
