For 27 years this gastronomic festival has been held in the surroundings of the nautical complex, in the Barral field, a parish belonging to the Castrelo de Miño Town Council. Every year at the beginning of August (in honour of “Virxe das Neves”) the Eel Festival takes place, closely linked to the surroundings since it was already abundant in its waters before the construction of its reservoir.

For three days, both visitors and locals can taste, for a modest price, the eel of the region prepared in various ways and accompanied by a good Castrelo wine and empanada.
