The Rapa das Bestas Route of Sabucedo

This episode is an invitation to discover Sabucedo beyond the party. Through a circular tour of the places linked to the Rapa das Bestas, the visitor can get to know the village, the mountains and the paths that give meaning to the tradition. The route connects the past and the present: the church of San Lourenzo, the Curro Viejo, the viewpoints, the petroglyphs, the mills and the lands where horses live in freedom. A slow and contemplative experience that shows the union between nature, culture and community, and reminds us that preserving what is ours is to guarantee the future of Galician villages.

The Climax of Tradition

The climax of the tradition: the "aloitamento." The hand-to-hand struggle between man and horse, where strength is balanced with respect to cut the manes, deworm, and mark the animals.

The Arrival at the Curro

The culmination of the roundup. It shows the moment when the beasts enter the "curro" (the enclosed area), preparing for the ritual encounter with the "aloitadores".

The Descent

The spectacular and vibrant journey. Follow the herd as it is led from the mountain heights to the valley, a moment of great tension and visual beauty.

The Call of the Mountain

The beginning of the ritual. It documents the exciting journey in which the locals go into the mountain to locate, surround, and begin the concentration of the herds that live in freedom.
