The municipality of A Pobra do Brollón celebrates on Saturday, July 13, the VI edition of the Guimara Medieval Fair; act in memory of the revolt carried out by the residents of A Pobra against the Count of Lemos when he wanted to collect taxes from this territory, without any type of right over it. It is said that the men and women of Brollón resisted the Count's troops, who finally defeated the residents. After this event, the inhabitants of A Pobra do Brollón were called Guimaros, which means: rough, brave and mistrustful.
During the day there will be a proclamation, a representation of the revolt, different demonstrations and musical performances, in addition to the traditional popular lunch. The complete agenda of the Guimaras will be announced in the coming days on this website.
The city council invites residents and visitors to participate in this event.
