School Carnival Week Instructions

Entroido
I'm no longer in Galicia, but from what I remember, Entroido is much of that week from the weekend before through Lent (Wednesday). You can definitely see some stuff on the weekend. Around January, you can probably start to search for event calendars for each city/village (search "calendario de eventos Entroido 2019 _______ (city/village name)"). If your Spanish/Galician isn't great, if you see an event, you can search Google images for that event in that city/village to see if it looks interesting. So, you can plan where to go based on if a city/town has a certain event you want to see when you'll be there. Generally most cities have Entroido activities, but villages tend to have the most traditional and unique festivities. The most famous ones are Xinzo de Limia, Laza, and Verin. You can search for those--I'm sure other blogs have covered them, but I didn't get to see them. For many of those villages, they're a bit far from Noia and it would probably be best to rent a car if you decide to go that route. My parents really enjoyed the town of Ribadavia when they visited, and it was special because it happened to be a saint day, so they were doing a traditional procession. I hope you get the chance to get see some of the wonderful culture unique to Galicia while you visit! Enjoy!

So sorry for not replying! I guess I haven't been receiving notifications on here! Yes, for February, I would anticipate weather in the 40s (Fahrenheit) and rain. You may also want to bring good warm layers along with a rain jacket. I would not bring an umbrella, as you can just pick up one pretty cheaply at a dollar store once there if you need it.
