Laeros, the Rock Art Festival, an event that blends historical reenactments, experimental archaeology, and gastronomy, returns to O Campo Lameiro on August 24 for its fourth edition. The festival, organized by the O Campo Lameiro City Council with the collaboration of the Xunta de Galicia and the Pontevedra Provincial Council, invites you to “live in prehistory.”

The event will take place in the outdoor area of the PAAR, where you can immerse yourself in a journey to the past.

Prehistoric Activities and Experiences

The festival offers a variety of experiences for all ages:

• Recreation of daily life activities: Visit the recreation area where you can see how various cereals were sown and harvested in prehistory, as well as the final process for preparing different foods, with the collaboration of Andrés Teira and the Tir na N’Og association.
• Rock art games: Participate in fun games inspired by rock art and create land art pieces with natural elements.
• Bronze Age village: The Tir na N’Og association and the rural women of  O Campo Lameiro will show you what life was like in a Bronze Age village. Additionally, you’ll be able to see a metal-casting demonstration to create a bronze axe, an experience in experimental archaeology.

Discover Rock Art with Experts

The festival offers the opportunity to explore the PAAR’s heritage with two free guided tours:

• Archaeological tour: In the morning, archaeologist Patri Novas will guide you through the main petroglyphs of the Park.
• Theatrical tour: In the afternoon, Suso Martínez will bring to life Sobrino Buhigas, one of the most important researchers of the Campo Lameiro petroglyphs, in a visit full of history and theater.

Remember: Advance booking is required through the website for these activities, guided tours in Galician and Spanish.

Music and New Features

The festival will be enlivened by the music of the children’s group from O Campo Lameiro, Cantalúa, which will open the event along with the O Campo Lameiro polyphonic choir, and the group Cantos da Terra, which will provide rhythm for the meal.

As a new feature this year, the best-dressed table will be awarded a food package (for 20 people) for the 2026 edition. One more incentive to enjoy the day with family or friends!
