The mayor of Lalín, José Crespo, has just announced that the great painter José María Barreiro will be responsible for designing the poster for the 58th edition of the Feira do Cocido, which will be held on 8 February 2026. This is a very special name in the history of the Feira, as Barreiro was the author of the first official poster in 1969, as well as the posters for the 2010 editions and now the next one. With three posters to his name, he is one of the most prolific poster artists in the history of the Feira do Cocido.

José María Barreiro is also a Commander of the Feira do Cocido, a distinction that recognises his involvement and contribution to the promotion of Galicia's most emblematic gastronomic festival. In addition to the poster, he is working on the design of the official pin for the 2026 edition.
The Feira do Cocido in Lalín boasts one of the most outstanding line-ups of poster artists in Galicia and Spain, with names such as Paco Leiro, Paco Pestaña and Manolo Paz, to give just three examples, who have contributed works of great artistic value. Barreiro, who creates the poster on a voluntary basis like all the poster artists for the Feira do Cocido, represents the essence of this tradition: art, commitment and passion for the land.
Judging by his painting, the poster for the 58th Feira do Cocido promises to be a work that will be appreciated both in Lalín and beyond.
