The eighth edition of the Festa do Botelo in the city of A Coruña would be held today, February 20, but the Covid-19 pandemic means that we have to wait for the situation to improve. This year, around 300 people will not gather at the Arbore da Veira restaurant in Monte de San Pedro, as in the previous seven celebrations. But for all lovers of the Valdeorrés king of winter product, who live outside the region, we remind them that there are pages on the internet, such as www.retornoalpueblo.com, where they can purchase the bottle and receive it at home.

The Valdeorras Barco Council will continue to work on the organization of a new boat festival both in the Herculaneum capital and in the city of Vigo as soon as possible. Meanwhile, this year the bottle has to be tasted at home with all possible safety measures.
