Xinzo de Limia is a town and municipality in the province of Ourense, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.

There are several small industries, including a glass factory, and many pig, cow and dairy farms in the surrounding area.

The drained lakebed of Antela, once Spain's largest freshwater lake until the 1950s, produces cereals, hay, and especially potatoes.

In 138 BC the Roman chieftain Decimus Junius Brutus put an end to the myth told by the Galicians when, on crossing the river, he began to call each one of his legionnaires by their names from the opposite bank.

The pantalla is the guardian of the carnival, and runs through the streets in groups of two or three with two swollen pig bladders in the hands making huge noise.
