Description

Vilariño de Conso celebrates what many consider to be Carnival in its purest form. The boteiro is the star of the show and  leader of the Fulión . The Fulión is a group of people who play their drums and wave their sticks in tune o the beat. In each village of the municipality there is a fulió and some boteiros, who dance to their tune wearing different types of masks depending on the locality from which they come.
La fuliada is a satirical and mischievous play on current issues: politics, religion or social criticism of what happened during the year in the town.
