This figure of the Vilariño de Conso Carnival connects with the tradition of other carnival protagonists in the province of Ourense. Each village in Vilariño has its own” boteiro”, a man or woman from the locality.

Their attire is characterized by an elaborately decorated white shirt, adorned with ribbons of various colors sewn in gathers, worn with a tie. The trousers are red satin with sewn fringes, paired with a belt with bells.

The mask consists of a mask, complete with mustache, sideburns, and beard, and a rectangular screen with drawings that vary in each parish. The attire of the “boteir”o from “Mormentelos” differs, with a hat-like structure instead of the mask from Vilariño and loose ribbons on the shirt.

They carry a monca in their hand, a rod or stick, with which they pave the way for the fulión, who leads the way.

The fulión or folión consists of a group of people of all ages from the same village. This group travels through the streets of neighboring towns playing drums and bass drums, which are made in the municipality itself, as well as sickles and other farming tools.

In Vilariño de Conso, each parish or village has a different sound that identifies and sets it apart from the rest of the population centers, a tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Traditionally, those participating in the same fulión dress in the same attire: corduroy trousers and vest, linen shirt, a beret or hat, and "galochos."

In Vilariño, the highlight of the fulión parade is Carnival Saturday, when a parade is held featuring groups from all the parishes and neighboring municipalities.

The “fuliadas or foliadas” has the tradition of popular humor and mockery that characterize the carnival season. Here, various satirical and burlesque pieces are performed, usually in verse, with one or more individuals dressed in disguise.

A master of ceremonies is responsible for introducing and linking the various pieces, as well as concluding the event, offering apologies if anyone was offended by the performance.

Carnival in Vilariño de Conso is a typical representation of the province of Ourense. Although it was lost in Vilariño de Conso for several years, efforts have been made to revive it in recent years.

Carnival in Vilariño de Conso begins the week before the actual Carnival. The Thursday of that week is Compadres Thursday, which is nine days before Carnival Saturday. Here, women hang a doll dressed in men's clothing from the village, which the men must try to take down. Battles between people of both sexes are organized, traditionally involving the use of flour.

The following Thursday, two days before Carnival Saturday, is “Comadres Thursday”, where roles are reversed, and men make the doll while women must retrieve it.

Today, these celebrations are complemented with a dinner on each of the days: the "Compadres Dinner" and the "Comadres Dinner." It is also common for these celebrations to be moved to the following Friday.

These figures are the protagonists of “Compadres Thursday and Comadres Thursday”. On Compares Thursday, women create the “lardeiro”, a doll traditionally made of straw and dressed in clothing stolen from the men of the village. The following week, 4 it is the lardeira's turn, prepared by men and dressed in women's clothing from the village.

“Lardeiro and lardeira” are hung in one of the highest points of the village. Typically, these figures remain on display during the Carnival festivities until they are burned on Carnival Tuesday to be buried on “Ash Wednesday”.
