Laudio kicks off the 16th edition of its pintxo contest this Friday, a key event for the local hospitality sector, featuring 15 new and exquisite culinary creations.

The competition, themed “Saborea Laudio” (Taste Laudio), is organized by the local merchants' association APILL for the fourth year, with support from the City Council. Residents can sample a wide array of pintxos showcasing the quality and creativity of the area's hospitality businesses.
APILL's manager, Claudio Pérez Bardeci, encourages customers to participate in the popular vote to select the best pintxo. Voters will be entered into a raffle for prizes totaling 1,000 euros, to be held on June 2nd at the Apill headquarters.
To participate, consult the information portal for contest details and submit your coupon at participating venues before 10:00 PM on May 31st. Coupons must be stamped at a minimum of five establishments, one of which must be located in the outskirts. Pintxo prices range from 2 to 3.75 euros.
Tasting days are today, tomorrow, and Sunday, as well as from May 29th to 31st. The event will be complemented by street entertainment provided by regional cultural centers.
This weekend, the Galego Center celebrates Galician Literature Day, honoring the journalist and feminist writer Begoña Caamaño. Next week, a new edition of the Festival Cultural de los Pueblos will take place, with María Ángeles Arbaizagoitia, president of ASASAM, serving as the opening speaker, recognized for her dedication to mental health.
On Saturday, there will be bagpipe music, parades, and concerts by groups Meninos do Pandeiro and Espalladoiro, along with a bertsolaritza (improvised Basque poetry) session featuring Izar Mendiguren and Xabi Paya. Sunday will feature the traditional puppet show "O Galo Quirico e os seus amigos".
The Festival de los Pueblos, from May 29th to 31st, will enhance the typical regional food stalls in Plaza Aldai with various musical performances. Friday the 29th will feature Galaecia (a tribute to Antonio Molina) and Los de Antes; Saturday the 30th, the Santa Lucía choir, Aires Flamencos, and a Fito tribute concert; and Sunday the 31st will see performances by the regional centers' own groups from Laudio: Guadalupe de Extremadura, Algaravía de Andalucía, San Fernando de Castilla y León, and Espalladoiro de Galicia.
