For over 4,000 years indigenous wild horses have roamed the A Groba mountain range, which joins the town councils of Baiona and Oia. It is one of the few places in the world where curros or rapa das bestas (the corral of the wild horses) are still celebrated. Thousands of wild horses run freely in A Groba Mountain, but are herded down the mountain in a corral every year and are branded, as well, they get a haircut, before being let free to run up the mountain again. Although they live freely, the horses belong to neighboring mountain communities.
The big day of this festival is on Sunday, after the corraling of the wild horses, everyone enjoys some of the local gastronomy at the different stalls offering delicious homemade bread, octopus, and empanada pie, all accompanied by the Galician wines! Here you can read more about this festival.
