The Festa do Albariño[1] is a gastronomical feast in Cambados, Galicia, Spain celebrated during the week leading to the first Sunday of August.
The origin of this feast was a challenge in 1953 between Bernardino Quintanilla and Ernesto Zárate for determining the best wine of 1952.
Nowadays, the festa is celebrated during the week leading to the first Sunday of August.
One of then is the public face: musical shows, fireworks, exhibitions, sport competitions, artworks, workshops about the Albariño and a collective tasting of the wine.
The second face is formed by all of the official acts like the parade of the Capítulo Serenísimo do Albariño, which is held on the Sunday of the feast and goes from the Town Council Square to the Fefiñans Square.
