What is the Festa da Lamprea ?
The lamprey, known as the vampire fish, has a set of devoted followers in Arbo who have been meeting since 1961 to eat it during this festival which is held every year. They celebrate the Fiesta de la Lamprea (Festa da Lamprea, Arbo) and Condado wines. The first edition took place on April 16, 1961. Now, this year 2023 will be the 63rd edition of the Lamprey Festival, and it has been declared a festival of International Touristic Interest - LXIII FESTA DA LAMPREA. It takes place on April 28th, 29th and 30th, coinciding with the closure of the fishing season, which opened three months earlier.
