An initiative that recreated Galician medieval life in the context prior to the battle of Porto de Bois in 1371. The event, organized with historical rigor, sought to publicize the role of the Galician nobility at the end of the Middle Ages, foster a culture of recreation faithful to the period and lay the foundations for future editions with greater scope. In addition, it included the production of a short documentary to preserve the memory of the activity and serve as promotional material.

During the day, the participants immersed themselves in a medieval environment recreated in detail. To this end, a cast of musicians played historical pieces, combatants equipped with documented weapons and armor, as well as scribes, apothecaries and cooks characterized according to the period. In addition, realistic equipment was made available to the public, such as tents, shields, safe weapons and clothing faithful to the 14th century.

The experience was structured into an immersive program for 20 participants, which included a display of Gothic Bastard writing, dramatized harangues, historical fencing lessons, a lunch with medieval recipes and demonstrations of the use of spears and armour.

The activity ended with a dramatization of the harangue to the troops and the distribution of informative materials on the recreation of the Castro War.

The event was recorded in a documentary, in which the recreation of late medieval Galicia was combined with "behind the scenes" on the process of organization and development of the initiative.

This material was subsequently disseminated on social networks, both through the channels created for Porto de Bois and through the collectives Suevia Recriaçom and Cabaleiro Errante, with the intention of promoting future calls for proposals and attracting an increasingly wider audience.
