Enxa Curro

Activity · Porto do Son, Noia, A Coruña

Equestrian facility located at the Chans de Raña, on Monte da Enxa (538 metres), in the parish of Baroña (Porto do Son, A Coruña), with a horse-racing circuit, three wooden curros and a recreation area. In this enclosure the rapa das bestas da Enxa is held in the first week of August, revived in 2010 after eight years without being held due to disagreements between local livestock farmers and the community of montes of Baroña, owner of the enclosure. The rapa brings together more than a hundred horses from the nearby leiras, which the aloitadores bring down from the mountain to cut their manes by hand; in the afternoon races are also held on the circuit adjoining the curros.
