This area was recently created, and on the shutters of the garages they put various murals of many themes so that the place would have "another air". There are writers, things from Galicia, etc.

"Every year, on the Saturday in May before Corpus Christi, at about 11 a.m. , the Festa do Boi de Allariz begins with the arrival of the 4 oxen that are raised in the mountains of Penamá. In the afternoon, at 8:00 p.m., A Proba dos Bois or the Test of the Oxen begins, to see that they are in perfect condition or that they are not excessively brave.

From Sunday until the end of the festivities, in the morning and in the afternoon, the famous Carreira do boi is celebrated, which consists of going through the streets of Allariz with one of the oxen or a roped bull.

Sunday is another of the big days, with the celebration of the Medieval Procession of Juan de Arzúa, which culminates with a great meal where all the medieval guilds or gangs participate.

The rest of the days races and different events for children and adults are also held."

Here, Abram painted an ox in the middle of a run and next to it the boy who is guiding it with a stick.
The ox has that tuft on its head cut for the occasion and it is brown in color.
The detail of the gray stone paving of the Allariz floors is also exquisite.
