Image of Narón, not of the place itself.

The Feira do Trece is held on the thirteenth of every month in the parish of Sedes, in the concello of Narón, on what is the last traditional fairground kept by the municipality, where, besides this market of local produce, livestock and open-air food, other events also take place, such as the horse fair or the hunting-dog fair. On 13 March 1918, coinciding with market day, the so-called Revolta das Pedradas took place in front of the mayor's shop, a local protest against the unequal distribution of consumption levies and the disproportionate taxes borne by the peasants; the Guardia Civil came to disperse it and left six dead and several wounded, events denounced by the magazine Nós. It is one of the most deeply rooted traditional fairs of Ferrolterra.
