Fiestas

As Peras is the quintessential festivity of Pontedeume and is very popular in this region, it is celebrated between the 7th and 11th of September in honour of the Virgin of Virtues and San Nicholas of Tolentino. The other two local fiestas take place on the 15th and 16th of July (Fiesta of Carmen) and from the 9th until the 11th of July are the festivities in honour of San Cristobal, also known as the fiesta of taxi drivers.
